Thou I Walk Through the Valley of Death, I Fear No Evil
THOU I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF DEATH, I FEAR NO EVIL
Stricken but not stripped
Cursed but never coursed
Shot and never block
Stomped but stopped
Broke but never fell
Slapped to be crushed
And drag down in hell
So you stand there to take a laugh…
Drowning in a pool
To swim I never knew
To scream is like to call for more
Darkness to crave in like Mr Croc
Wiggling and shaking his tale towards me
To consume me as his night meal as he is good at
Fog creeps in
Thick clouds floods in
Lightning making a scar
The sun hides out
Trees glooms on
While the moon shines off
The wolfs may haul
To the tear that cries out
For the blood that splits out
As the sharks and scavengers approaches
Only to see the face… face drop,
But they, not knowing
Not knowing that from within
Deep inside at the core
There in the heart that blobs
Lit a candle
Though smelted down to no form
The top of it shines a flame
Joyfully sings and dances
Like a new born baby seeing his mom coming
And knowing that rich treasures of milk is to be served
The flame,
That glows in the night
Like a lighthouse at the seashore
That could be seen by sailors from afar
And giving them hope
That there is life nearby
And the sailing and wriggling is about to be over
Because there is rest
The light,
The light a sign of life
Life to be alive
Alive and has defeated
Defeated and knocked him out
Because the light never gives up
And though he can take his best shot
Draining all he has and all he could he wont
And he will never
Never as he wishes to turn off
Turn off the light
Because it was lit from above
And thou I walk through the valley of death, I fear no evil
