Black days ahead…a world in turmoil

Hatred bubbles beneath a cloak of fear

Storm clouds hide the sun as darkness grows

Tyrants stoke fear of “the other”

Barbarism in the name of freedom

Working their evil in the dim shadows

 

And darkness spreads

Feeding on fear, hatred, and revenge

Preaching the gospel of intolerance

Darkness serves the masters’ greed

But the masters are deceived

As darkness is the master they serve

 

Yet in the darkness pockets of light

Light of compassion, truth and love

Beacons of humanity mark the realms

Shadows move to shroud the light

But in the blackness the light glows

And darkness cannot quell the light

 

The light radiates from within you

Feel the power and the warmth inside

Let it shine upon the path of man
