In Darkness
who didn't know himself
sometimes he was right
other times very wrong
he wandered in circles through life
waiting for the light to shine
down on him
he knew darkness without light
in popular culture
he submerged himself
looking for the answer
only becoming more confused
once in a while
the light would shine on him
but he was too blind to see
so he ignored the truth
which would have set him free
and he kept the darkness,
the dark, cold lies of the pit,
hardened in his heart
he died from a self inflicted wound
in agony, he lived
in death, he died.

That poor man...So many times, we just can't see the light behind the clouds...If we could only grasp how much God really loves us, then we would know how and where to find strength and hope. We should pray for that man's immortal soul...that he has somehow found peace at last.
