Writing in the
Dark
Apropos
Can't see the words form
Often can't remember the
Last
Line
     
But I stumble along
Despite it
All
Actually it's nothing new
We're all in the
Dark
Bewildered
     
Children of Earth
Such lost
Souls
Plagued by the curses of
Alone
Awaiting
Death
    
So I continue on
Scribbling
Away
Wondering if I'm even
Leaving
Any
Impression
      
Will anyone even see to
Read
Them
So hard to see
So much darkness
So many
Blinders
     
Will we ever get
Past the
Paradoxes
Can we ever
Solve the
Riddles of
Life
     
Can we open the windows
Without breaking
Them
Let in some fresh air
Flush out all this
Stale and stagnant
Smell
     
Overcome the conditioning
Found a new
World
One that embraces life
Instead of
Dwelling on
Death
      
Get back to
Our
Roots
Build a solid foundation
Instead of always
Building upon
Sand
     
Tired of watching as
Everything drifts off
Into the sea
Time for new days
Brighter lives for
All to
Enjoy
     
But there's so much
Holding us
Back
So much weight
Heaped upon
Our
Backs
     
Can we shed the loads we're
Forced to
Carry
Remove the blinders
Light the torch
End the
Darkness
