Mornings fall Darkness rise Man ne’er looking to the skies Pleading not Suff’ring so Wallowing in tort’rous woe Blinded to Their own doubt Gnawing, chewing, hollows out Precious souls They don’t care Where to go? Now what to wear? Worthless cares Don’t they see? Devil’s snares of “me, me, me” Much success Though contrite Robbed so eas’ly of their sight Cry to God! Oh, little man Only He saves, with His plan
"Dark Days" was carefully metered out and planned. It's the only poem in which I've gotten this involved in the technical process. It was actually fun, but provided no emotional outlet. This poem was written sometime shortly before March 8, 2011.
