I watched the dark

Overwhelm the light

All good fell silent
As evil took flight

The love once felt

Turned to hatred and greed

The trees turned silent

No mockingbirds sang

The screams rang clear

From oceans to mountains

Pain was inevitable

Happiness unfounded

Hope came each morning

Despair each night

Life is perpetual sadness

And will forever be our plight.

There was a point in time that I started writing some dark poetry and this is one of the offspring of that period.
