A Light That Never Goes Out

A Poetic Tribute To One Of My Favorite Bands, "The Smiths"

A Light That Never Goes Out 

Despite The Best Efforts 

Of Hate-filled War Mongers 

And Deceivers, Scorned. 

A Light That Never Goes Out 

To Light The Way Through Darkness  

To Shimmer And Shine, Eternally 

Filled With Amorous Intentions. 

A Light That Never Goes Out 

They Will Remember Why 

Years From Now When We Are 

Long Gone, Our Bones, Dust. 

A Light That Never Goes Out  

Truth And Love Conquers All 

True Love Is Forevermore 

Despite Harbingers Of Dark Design. 

A Light That Never Goes Out 

What A Lovely Way To Exit 

Shining For All The World To See 

Glimmering Throughout Eternity.

Hope, where would mankind be without hope, and a light to guide our path.

But quite scary, though! I like the use of capitals ...it emphasises the importance of the subject!

[Darling]

Great tribute to a wonderful song which I am currently listing over and over on my MP3 as I write this. Darling.
