A Poem by Joshua Amos Graff

For wisdom and knowledge
For understanding and compassion
I sold the fire of who I was
Saw soul’s light expire
In my fervent desire
To be better
Acquiring and inspiring
Art 
At the expanse 
Of my own happiness
Looking through to
The human heart of darkness
To help create
A collective lamp
That burns brighter and better
Then this dark bitter sun
And though I will never know
Such a sweet world
From my lonely mountain top
You will know
I love you all
