A Glimpse Into The Darkness and A Step Out of The Light

Maybe it’s a tale or maybe it’s a poetic expression focused on funding peoples hearts with knowledge to the point they will benefit from what is shown.

Once upon a time

A time enflamed with anger

With anger and sorrow

Sorrow being in the invisible manor

Invisible manor may conclude why

Why global issues still exist

Still exist from major lack of care

Lack of care coming from broken promises

Broken promises led to a river full of sullen

Sullen beings existing in darkness

Darkness that is pitch black

Pitch black and almost blinding

Almost blinding due to the matter

The matter of lack of worldwide love

Worldwide love exclaims it’s loneliness

It’s loneliness resembles colours

Colours of anger and sadness

Anger & sadness controlling our every move

Our every move watched by society

By society that carefully vibrates violet

Violet is shown through the mesh of

The mesh of sadness & anger

The blues and shades of red turn me off

Off from being enlightened and glad

Glad being restored by a pint of happiness

Happiness is shown through yellow

Through yellow the world will learn to know

To know where I am coming from

Coming from an independent strategy

Strategy towards making peace within the...

Within the world; our world

Our world is torn so I keep trying to thrive

To thrive and exceed in creating a loving

A loving surrounding where we will

Where we will all be bursting yellow

Bursting yellow resembles being happy

Being happy is needed for the planet

The planet examples repitition and lies

Lies learnt by the innocent

The innocent too naive to believe else things

Else things being the truth the world forgets

The world forgets to speak bare truth

Bare truth would lead us to answers

To answers all have been in search for

For the blessings of colour

Colour is different than the punishment

The punishment of darkness

Darkness exclaims it’s value

It’s value is to create fear

Fear is not welcomed

Not welcomed nor accepted

Accepted being the exception towards...

Towards the sullenness we face

We face terrible happenings

Terrible happenings that use wickedness

Wickedness planted by hate

Hate then masks armours of violet

Violet turning into violent streaks

Violent streaks set up the darkness

The darkness then overshadows all colour

All colour gets painted black

Black and something darker

Something darker that shuns my attempts

My attempts to make a better place

A better place I stay alive for

I stay alive for the possibility of true peace

True peace connects living at ease

Living at ease is comparable

Comparable to what’s in our dreams

In our dreams and by what we crave

What we crave is the light

The light the sun shines down on us

On us as a whole nation

A whole nation begging for love to escalate

For love to escalate and teach us

Teach us there is nothing better than this.
