Seth E Poet Dramatic Verse

White

READ BLACK BEFORE THIS. IT WILL 
MAKE FOR A BETTER READ!!!



White
Some have seen black
They are the ones without hope
Run to the light you who are alone
Experience white
Here you can find peace 
There pain and turmoil fill the endless abyss
Here you will rest
If only you choose to follow
Hide in the blackness if you must
COWARDS!
All of you!
Too familiar, this blackness
 And so alienate yourselves
Why?!? Can't you see the warmth, the comfort
If only you would trust
But no, you live 
In fear and shadow
Because you've chosen the darkness
Forever will you be in turmoil
So easy it could be
All you must do is grasp the thread of hope
Ah!
Only inches from your grasp,
Yet millions of miles from your understanding
Without understanding, there can be no trust
Until you trust, there will be no relief 
For your weary, aching soul
You cry out 
"Oh to leave this pit and join those who truly 
know!"
You gaze into the white
While all of the enlightened ones
Stare solemnly back
"You have chosen to live in fear and darkness,
    because you failed to take the simple step 
of trust,
       this will be your demise."
And suddenly, 
SNIP!! 
The thread that once shined
In your abyss of despair has vanished
And with it your only chance 
As you cry and moan
You hear a voice
"Go, warn others like you so they may avoid 
your fate."
Obediently you follow the voice 
Inside your head
Then, the ground has vanished
You are tumbling head over heels
Deeper into the pit
But you no longer care
For you avoided..
White
