Pain

Pain

A Poem by insanity
"

Pain is only passing, peace is eternal in the hearts of all good men.

"

Behind every smile

A tsunami of tears

Every face a façade

Hiding all our fears

Every step is a mile

The horizon nears

I slowly plod

As the ghost appears

 

The future is bleak

It said in a moan

I must bear the bad news

Letting out a somber groan

The ghost spoke once more

In a very grim tone

You must take the golden path

Upon which the light is shone

 

The world is peril

It needs a guiding light

Take the path

You will be given the sight

Lead your people from darkness

Out of the endless night

Do this my child

Do not forsake the fight

 

Behind every corner

Pain lies in the shadows

The storm brews

As the western wind blows

We’re sitting in the waves

Going through the throes

Searching for hope in this austerity

Whereupon the true light shows

 

To guide the world

To the path of peace

We must learn to love

And begin to release

The only antidote

To this terrible disease

Of hatred and war

The pain will soon cease
