what we are seeing
is what is to come
the beast from inside
and every person trapped

For the crimes of the few
we are all betrayed
hope is smothered under
are we all to allow this

See what we are to do
What has to be freed
can we truely lose
against evil inside

do you see the light inside
we must discover
Hope belief trials of the good
All the light inside

Come into the light
Belief in self
Hope in the future
Trials against evil


 "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or devil!-
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-
On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore-
Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

I like this...
"the beast from inside
and every person trapped..."
...a good, dark poem.  Thanks for sharing.

another perfect poem of reflection...
and hope...
your light shines in this one...
but then I always see your light in your words *smile*

 I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem
I'm feeling ...
If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
cuz there's a little bit of something me...
In everything in you.

I really liked this poem, especially the last verse there is a powerful message in those four lines.

Come into the light
Belief in self
Hope in the future
Trials against evil

Then work came and made us free
What price now for a shallow piece of dignity"
