Hour of Darkness

The hour of darkness is upon us

showing no sign of slipping away

Bringing fire and pestilence and carrying on the wind

Sing unto the heavens for release in this trying hour

and call upon your gods and if they should care

 

The hour of darkness is upon us

showing no sign of slipping away

Tearing families from each other

tearing love apart and from our hearts

 

The hour of darkness is upon us

showing no sign of slipping away

gripping up our greatest joys and casting them away

life amid the madness can tare but only for so long

The strength is always inside us, the strength to go on

 

The hour of darkness is upon us

showing no sign of slipping away

yet light there is still to wash away the sadness

it has always been in you to withstand the trials

to shun away the darkness for you are the light

I really enjoyed this piece! You have captured dissappointments, and the darkness that can shadow the mind but also captured the part of huamnity that stands up and fight against this fiend. You should read my poem 'The Science of Negativity' featured on my page on all Poetry.com: http://allpoetry.com/poem/6490909 which I'll be pasting here soon.

:) the glimmer of hope, when revealed will break into the deepths of the dark.
