The Bright Darkness

A Poem

In the depths of despair, we are heading to hell

The carrots are cooked and are beginning to smell

Up, the devil sits and giggles upon

To proceed the reason for his soul being born

This freaking humanity is back on the path of its own demise

The darkness of destruction is yet to arise

After thinking all this, all the stars that I gaze upon

I realize that they too are clinging to the rise of the fear-laden dawn

 

Everyone knows that night is needed for a star to shine

Darkness is needed for a rare crystal recently extracted from mine

In this beautiful and cruel world, all the paths that we trample upon

Are filled with darkness that help our fear to be totally torn

The cold fingers that trails on our backs

Forces us to get away from the life that mocks and whacks

Now should I say the hell and the devil I was talking about

Are nothing but the hate and the ego that are beginning to shout

Inspired from a star that glows in the dark

Orders me to change perspective and again embark

One blow of polish never make diamonds what they later become

It just marks the beginning of a legend from a scum

Such are humans and such are their deeds

They will keep moving, unknown of the path where it leads

Now, unlike a star, I won't flicker and twinkle later

Just will keep shining for the things that I want to cater

The objects that are in front of me and I generally ignore

Made me learn the lessons of perspectives I always wanted to implore

Now with a changed perspective, should I say,

Although that our works and our deeds are heading us to hell

Still, there are reasons to stare at the carrots that are cooked and are beginning to smell
