The Silent Dark




The Silent Dark

I exist in this tragic place
Deep within the silent dark
My soul paralyzed
With a killing fear
And frozen in time

Taking one last look
At common humanity
On the verge of extinction
With a sense of wonder
Asking myself why

Children fighting for the future
With hostile words
Concealing the truth
While learning to hate

Words of manipulation
Delivering a symbol
The sound of the soul
Reveals more than we say

Lost voices in a world of darkness
Where words have no meaning
My mind becoming a shadow
Betrayed by control
A soulful cry vanishes to a memory
