There Is Light After Darkness

What would we be without intercessors?
They give us hope,
During times of quiescent.
We should embrace them for their flamboyant behaviour.
We used to live a bittersweet life.
Sorrows following us like a hungry lamb following its mother.
Our situation had to be kept arcane,
So we were never allowed to play with other kids.
Poverty controlled our lives. 

What would we be without intercessors?
No one could willingly make the immolation made by the intercessors.
We sure cannot separate their touching from our tactile organs.

"Poverty shouldn't define you"
We were all ambivalent when we saw the dark walking away.
Light waving as it became closer to us.
The light became brighter and we lived a quintessence life.
Eating a luscious food everyday, who would have thought?
