[Poem] The Darkness is Coming

[Tetz]

This is a short poem that I wrote in the summer of 2012.

The Darkness is Coming

A force that existed before anything else, it seeks to reclaim the world it once held before God made Light. It consumes all in a shadow much worse than death itself.

The Darkness is Coming

It enters past the defenses of even the most impenetrable fortresses. It seeps through the cracks and it comes from the deepest vestibules of any man's heart, sullying even the purest among them. It turns the kindest of intentions into an ambition that could destroy all in its path.

The Darkness is Coming

It hides hideous creatures, monsters in the form of men, seeking power, only to find it was all for naught in the end, for they had only furthered the Darkness's power over the world. It corrupts people claiming to do justice, only to become the villains themselves.

The Darkness is Here

As night falls, some creatures retire as to not see the Darkness envelop them. They have a right to hide, for every reasonable being should fear the Darkness. There are exceptions to this, however. Some can only live with it to survive.

The Darkness is Fading

All is not lost. Light, the only cure to the Darkness, is showing. It resides in those who refuse to succumb to the Darkness's cold embrace. And it has been since Pandora released Hope and the Plagues among us.

The Darkness is Gone

As the Sun rises, we all wake from our slumber, eager to greet the Light of morning. So as long as there is Hope and Light in all of us, the Darkness will never again hold the world.

And that is why we live, for the humanity and courage in all of us helps us understand why God created us in his own image and why we exist today.

THE END
