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." |

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 ------------ another perfect poem of reflection... and hope... your light shines in this one... but then I always see your light in your words *smile* take care my poetic-pal jm 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. ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

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 ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers "Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair" "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. |
