Darkness

      I'm pretty sure many of you have heard about the Boston bombing that happened on Monday, April 15, 2013. Well, this poem is dedicated to the similar events going on in the world.


Dark days are here
And even darker nights
So dark that we believe
We have lost our sight

No light shines down
Upon this Earth
Nothing is special
Not love nor birth

Famine and drought all over
War and violence keeps raging on
It is never ending
For no one has won

Darkness has taken over
It has defeated light
Too many people loved
The darkness of the night

They bathed in it
And fell under the spell
It was all too late
For them to tell

That darkness is evil
It plays tricks
Fooling everyone
Making them sick

Sick enough to plan death
Causing graveyards to fill
Making people not care
Wether or not they kill

Darkness is enclosing
And we need to turn it around
Where there's peace and happiness
And we're safe and sound
