Obscurity (And Such)

We communicate like the burrows of foxes, in silence and darkness, under ground. We are undermined by faith and love. - Thoreau

you said, "let there be light"

but it's so dark here

this can't be right

pitch black

it's nighttime and i'm wearing sunglasses

can't find the light switch

there must be some sort of glitch

somebody help me

help me to find my way around

i keep bumping into walls

tripping

stubbing my toes

lost in the throws

helpless under a burden of woes

i'm lost

can't find my way out

shrouded in heavy doubt

oh this faithless drought

no one hears my shout

please part this impenetrable sea and show me another route

one that is more devout

grant me some existential clout

help me to see what this is all about

did you really die for us all or are we doomed to go dutch

with one good leg and one crutch

one foot on the gas and one on the clutch

i'm not asking for much

just a little human touch

"and such were some of you"

insomuch

living in

obscurity and such ...

Author's Note

"The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. - Thoreau

Yes so much hope is put into faith to search for answers. Another good write Pete. The human touch reminded me of another song “ I’m human on the inside.” Sung by the Pretenders, originally a song by Divinyls. Check it out especially the film clip of the song by Chrissie Hynde. It’s just excellento!! Magnificico!
