Best Darkside Poems
That Ancient Darkside of All Hallows’ Eve Past
As in the fabled medieval times of centuries in the deep past,
It’s time once again to celebrate the hidden ugly horror that
Seeks to infest and devour all human souls in this new century.
Be warned that false-faced beggars shall knock at each door,
And unbeknownst to the common people that they shall meet
On this All Hallows’ Eve—all shall not be well and normal!
With their bloodstained masks these real Ghosts, Ghouls and
Goblins shall shout out “Trick or Treat” as a fiend’s true cover
For something that’s sordid, unclean, ungodly, and macabre.
Looking for a clever sweet surprise for the unsuspecting souls,
These devilish minions begin gathering and dancing wildly to
“The Dark Spirit of the Pale Hallowed Moon” on this night!
Shawled with the darkness of souls and their living nightmares,
Ghastly silver phantoms now seek to scare the living-death out
Of every innocent person they encounter on this darkest eve.
Houses are marked by an eerie orange-pumpkin-light escaping
Into the dancing-dark shadows that hold all night-life precious,
As these phantoms move freely in the frigid breath of this night!
Creating a palpable angst they begin shaking the tree branches as
Horrid and terrifying spirits of true evil and witchcraft escape into
The cold-dark ether caught up in the vile magic of Lucifer himself.
Fortunately, they are tricked by the sound of an old tune playing a
Heavenly paean for knowing “What's Right From What’s Wrong,”
And warning them that the wrath of Almighty God awaits them!
In the end, the absolute power and holy majesty of Almighty God
Served as the saving grace to this foul situation which threatened
The innocent souls who were ensnared by these unholy phantoms.
And so, if thou doth question the probity of what hath been related to
You in this sacred narrative, then thou shall risk forfeit of your soul,
As these evil phantoms lurketh ever in the shadows and never forget!

Boldly, the hellions appeared.
Riding in one-by-one pointing accusing fingers.
Out of the eerie darkness they rode,
as if from the depths of an abyss, they came.
The first offered a toxic libation.
Lethal words ranted like a preacher
hurled like fire and brimstone.
A tenebrous warning as time runs out...
"Mothers keep your children at your knee.
Soon the world will dwell in misery!"
The next rider arrived as if from Hell.
Tongues of fire from sea and sand
claiming to do the Piper's bidding.
Another poisonous drink he poured
with the message that leaders lie.
'Do not defy Hell's commands!"
They come on wheels of Dharma
from the Darkside of Aquarius,
breathing fire across the world
that no amount of water can douse.
Without hesitation, the third rider appeared,
invading peaceful dreams of some
that turned into morbid nightmares,
and the stark reality that his mission
was the submission of men to kill their brothers.
Rider four from hell patiently waited his turn
then said wars were games of religious fools.
His words scared superstitions minds
a tool he used when his tongue was on an acid trip.
They come on wheels of Dharma
from the Darkside of Aquarius,
breathing fire across the world
that no amount of water can douse.
Time is running out to save minds and souls.
Hellriders arrived ahead of the silver surfer.
The wheel will keep moving round and round
until in the end, the truth unfolds.
Based on the Bruce Dickinson song Darkside of Aquarius.
Take a walk on the Darkside,
But don't be surprised...
By the madness that comes bursting out with pride.
Do you have thoughts of homicide,
Days where you want to it all by suicide,
Your inner demons know all the thoughts you try to hide.
Are there moments where you wish you were alone in the world,
Where you wish you didn't love men even if you are a girl,
Take a walk on the Darkside and see what starts to unfurl.
Do you have an Oedipal complex from Hell,
Do you fear you have no soul, that you are simply an empty shell,
Take a walk on the Darkside and find the place where such thoughts dwell.
Take a walk on the Darkside and fall down the rabbit hole,
Where your soul is as burnt and as black as coal,
Walks like that are sure to take their toll.
Take a walk on the Darkside if you must,
Talk to your demons, obey your lust,
But hold your breath when the winds begin to gust...
For every dark must have a light,
So take a deep breath and hold on tight,
And I'll see you on the other side of Dark, in the blinding light!
In the realm of artificial intelligence, a shadow looms,
A world of algorithms, where uncertainty blooms.
The promise of progress, a double-edged sword,
As the cons of AI are slowly explored.
Privacy invaded, data mined without consent,
In the hands of machines, our secrets are sent.
Surveillance unchecked, a watchful eye,
AI's reach expanding, without asking why.
Jobs displaced, livelihoods at stake,
As automation rises, the human touch may break.
Inequality deepens, as AI's power grows,
Leaving many behind, in its relentless throes.
Bias embedded, in algorithms unseen,
Discrimination perpetuated, in a digital sheen.
Ethical dilemmas, in AI's decision-making,
Moral quandaries arise, our values shaking.
In the age of artificial intelligence, we must tread with care,
Navigating the pitfalls, becoming aware.
For as we harness AI's potential might,
We must ensure it serves humanity's light.

Even-tho the infrastructure is dark as the mid-nite glow.
Even you...yourself (must) submit to the darkside, "for
thou....You must go with the flow".
For thou...may ask! "Why am I black, does not the Creator
saintionize the cultural of my being." And does He not know
that the will of all the children'(s) is too love. But even in love
...all of the children's refuses to acknowledge the pledge of court-
ship, but they will enjoy evil, and not enjoy to strife. "Do you
see their darkside."
Do you see....envy and not (do you) see the enemy? Do you see
hatred and not see the goal, that even in the view's some will say
that your race is bad new's. A pastor once stated that the....(Creator)
created beauty and so also the desire to purposily search deep within
your soul, for there one can find his calamity. But one can also search
a million years for emptiness and find joy when she has given up on her
nature.
Even-tho you might disagree, you must admit (salvation) is the actual
concern for..."The darkside of ebony.."
the devil is watching my cryptic charm my HEALTH IS GONE.
withdrawn from this world just a HELPLESS PAWN.
Eternally burning while standing in this acid rain.
unbelievable pain death is flowing through my veins.
addicted to this pain I am going insane.
because my words are profane and look down on with disdain.
I am not humane, God knows I can never be saved.
Because I gave into this pain, my road to hell has been paved.
I am just a depraved individual a soulless criminal.
My life deplorable and fill with agony.
Why I am I being tormented.
Mate you know i am here when things become dark
talk obsticles through,like a stroll in the park
building the bond that was lost,is a total pleasure
your family orientated thoughts,do more than measure
I totally see the path you must tredge
your situation putting you to the edge
i see your thoughts,i know some unclear
open arms,open door you can come here.
Rusted spiers
Splinted by liers,
Triers in sin
And all that is wrong
Mounted in untruth
Where they've been for so long
Dented hopes
Noosed with ropes,
They team with darkness
Writhes with ire
A most jaded wretchness
Our ghouls within
Away won't spin
Din of fear
Clear not the future
But danger to come
Fighting fast is the creature.
I’m in touch with the dark side of Pink Floyd
This classic album is one you should not avoid
Needle placed on the record, and I hear the first track
The music speaks to me and I keep coming back
Time passes and I breathe as I listen to on the run
The great gig in the sky sure sounds like lots of fun
When I stare at the prism on the album cover
Its design is so unique, quite unlike any other
A prism will create any colour you like
Rock music appeals to guys on their motorbike
I don’t need a lot of money to listen to this band
Floyd’s music eclipses all other, I'm sure you understand

When, as a child, the aquarian age did dawn.
Good vibrations were its joyful, loving spawn.
The world was ignited by a peaceful spark.
But did this age also bring us something dark?
And are our lives ruled by stars up in the sky
or by the true convictions of you and I?
I wonder if we are not to blind to see
that the darkness emanates from you and me.
Three cheers for the folk Down Under
Who blew syndicates asunder!
Their clever plot
Proves cops have got
Lightning to go with their thunder!
Inspired by Bruce Dickenson's song
Darkside of Aquarius, from the Accident of Birth Album
(Lord of the Rings video)
Here is my song-
Age of Aquarius
a future filled with love and life
sweet harmony and peace-
But, the future came with a knife
the first Hellrider bringing dread, death and
the darkside.
We were plunged into chaos as
a second rider brought us conflict
and cold thinking to constrict
with a darkness filled with terror
fascist dictators reading a script
there was no promised land in sight.
Realms of enlightenment,
of conduct, are crashing into nothingness.
Realms of enlightenment,
of conduct, are crashing into nothingness.
The third rider from hell came
with a message to kill our fellow women and men.
The fourth wave of riders were the horsemen of the Apocalypse
and we watched our crumbling world.
The horsemen yelled death to holy men,
and thus came an end of all enlightenment,
and tarot card reading became a useless tool.
Realms of enlightenment,
of conduct, are crashing into nothingness.
Existential dread and darkness closing in
and people are fleeing cities in fear,
because of this dark side of Aquarius,
and Hellriders who are stealing our minds and souls.
Realms of enlightenment,
of conduct, are crashing into nothingness.
(Guitar Solo)
I let the demons chase me to the sea,
and the rolling crashing waves.
Oh, how close they follow me,
only to be washed away in the sea,
but more are coming for me !
Got to fight, got to fight,
got to ride my white horse.
Got to fight, got to fight,
got to ride my white horse.
Got to fight, got to fight,
got to fight the demons,
got to fight the demons !
I've got to fight the demons from hell,
got to fight the demons from hell.
Got to fight the demons from hell,
Change the course of Aquarius,
change to age of Aquarius.
Change the dark side of Aquarius,
change the dark side of Aquarius . . . now !
Many people may wonder whats on the dark side of the moon. it could be aliens it could be monsters but hopefully they don't find out soon. if it can keep the light away it can hide all of its dark secrets, no one will ever know.
it can blind everyone with its beautiful bright side and keep the shadows on the low.
they say every year the moon gets further away this is so it is easier for the moon to keep its dark side at bay.
theres a reason we never went back to the moon after Apollo, for the few that have seen the moon for what it truly is they find it a pill impossible to swallow.
so the moon pushes all away, afraid we to will see its dark side one day.
we have all fallen in-love with its beautiful moonlight but would we still love the moon if we knew its secrets.
if you look closely you can see all its deep craters there are somethings you just can hide.
looking at the craters you get a faint idea of all the times the moon has cried.
sometimes i stare at the moon knowing its the only one that understands me.
our dark sides are similar we must make sure no one can see.
i feel connected to the moon even though it is so far,
we have one thing in common they cant ever find out who we really are.
Where were you? I needed you so badly my heart stopped my life dropped and
you were gone,I tried calling even screaming but you never answered,I fell
needed you to help,but I stayed there instead but don't worry the cold didn't bother
me,cuz they say I was dead long before that.
