So many are enslaved
to
the system of darkness
As it slowly coils
itself
around all of us
What
will our way out
be?

I wanted to read this
I wanted to read this captivating, sly and jolting statement a few times because your strategy is very effective. The message is underscored by your brilliant choice of structure and voice; the sparse lines speak with an ominous, serpentine perception and coil around our consciousness in the blink of an eye. A shrewd and farsighted wake-up call. Love it!
a glow of happiness to see you here
There is an old Chinese expression…
"Better to be a dog in times of tranquillity, than a human in times of chaos."
How I wish it were so, to be that dog.
But here we are… in the deep dark, before the plunge.
So let us expend everything we have, to be the last embers of light.
And hour by hour, day by day… turn to God and pray for a miracle.
For it is a miracle we need… as the bow of the ship, slips below the waves.

Thank you for that sobering,
Thank you for that sobering, but gorgeously expressed reply. Wouldn't mind a dog's life right now.
