What Lies In the Betwixt and the Between
What Lies In The Betwixt And The Between
What lies in the betwixt and the between
Heaven and hell, this world's darkest of scenes
Mankind wallows in the deepest of sin
Parades in blackest deeds, from early teens
Dare we to such foul actions then decry
Whilst our own deep darkness we seek to hide
As we walk under the malevolent moon
Into a land devoid, absent of sky
From this dastardly dream, this nightmare I woke
My legs still broken, my tongue cut off
And a whisper carried from far away
Suffer some more, for this curse is no joke.
As my mind then realize I was fast asleep.
I thought something learned was very deep.
Robert J. Lindley, dark Sonnet
Jan. 25th 1974
"Search for truth and light for darkness destroys. "
