Shadows emerging
The light betraying
The dampness that grips us in fear
The eerie silence that that our nerves cannot bare
There is no peace at hand
For the thief is quite as he land
Our fortune is took outside and within
For there is not just one mask but ten
Darkness overcomes the light
Making everything not so bright
Relieving us of even our sight!
There is no end in the morn or night.
Keep your hearts closed
And your eyes open alarmed
Your breathing can even be the excuse
of why it was taken from you.
Many masks, of all colors and design
Many masks, of all motive and origin
Many masks, many types and kind
Many masks, many evils in a line
The light betraying
The dampness that grips us in fear
The eerie silence that that our nerves cannot bare
There is no peace at hand
For the thief is quite as he land
Our fortune is took outside and within
For there is not just one mask but ten
Darkness overcomes the light
Making everything not so bright
Relieving us of even our sight!
There is no end in the morn or night.
Keep your hearts closed
And your eyes open alarmed
Your breathing can even be the excuse
of why it was taken from you.
Many masks, of all colors and design
Many masks, of all motive and origin
Many masks, many types and kind
Many masks, many evils in a line
So I witnessed someone being robbed the other day. You know you hear about this stuff and you never think it can happen to you or someone you know or something of that sort. You say you will defend yourself or do something, but do we truly fight back at the evil of the world? I am ashamed I didn't give chase I openly admit that. This poem not only warns but reminds us that this world is cruel, polluted, and evil. But that evil has limits no matter how big the evil is we need to learn to stand and fight against them!
