A Theory of Light Against Dark



The world must take part

in such epic conflicts

As this seems inevitable

I must interject with this



This lesson

This theory

of which I've created



To these leaders

These enemies

Of these wars they have hosted



Listen now and listen well

Before you enjoy your victory

Of this day



There is no such thing as evil

Overtaking the light

in any possible way



In theory

Light shall always

burn through the black



But once again in theory

Since everyone seems to think

that their own purity is fact



There is no bad, no evil, no wrong

It is simply a crossed matter

of opinion, going on for far too long



Example

An empty room

No windows, no lights



Dominated by black

Hostile zone

always awaiting the fight



But reassurance

is easy to obtain

For when a simple candle burns

The darkness fades



Darkness can blind

It can confuse

and it can strike fear



But it cannot over power

the light from any source

Which presents a problem here



There is no real evil

It's just what certain people's

Views may be composed of



They create

their own evil

Which must be disposed of



War itself

Is widely based

On serendipity



A grand gamble

Of human life and emotion

and we are told to show pity



Good is fighting good

Of a different race

and a different mind



They play god

With an enemie's sacrifice

using a soul they may never find



Screaming into the blank sky

Mothers and daughters weep

Hearing the echo's of a lovers death

As they plead for sleep



Oh how life could change

If somebody would just open their eyes

Realize the pain they cause for a stupid belief

And how heartless they are for manipulating so many lives



My tears flow freely

Make no real attempt

To hold them inside



I don't understand anybody

Why they act the way they do,

How they think or why



What I think is

That this loss isn't necessary



And what I know is

...that nobody gives a damn what I think.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Death isn't necessary unless it is natural. Unfortunately in our day and age, death is almost always caused by a small piece of lead in your chest.

That was incredible, Rob. I especially liked the rhyme scheme.
