Show her the light
She turns left and turns right
She turns around
Shivering in fright
She is bound
by the darkness she accepted
It has taken over
And made her feel indebted
It draws her closer
With lies she has to believe
Because she has no option
Back then she could perceive
But now she’s been blinded with corruption
She knows not right from wrong
White is no longer white
Strong no longer strong
and right no longer right
Everything blurred, everything shady
Her path leading her straight to doom and hades
She needs the light
To chase away dark
And show her what is right
Liberate her
Free her from her pains
Destroy all the chains
Undo what she has done
Show the darkness that it has not won
She needs the light
Writer’s thoughts:
“She” in this poem is metaphorical, it could mean different things for different people. Though for me, “she” refers to the world in which we live in today. A world that doesn’t know it’s left from it’s right, a world in which black and white, wrong and right have been so skilfully merged, so much so that there are no definite boundaries anymore, morals and values are now a thing of the past. The world is wandering aimlessly, no destination because it’s path is dark and it cannot see or make out where it’s heading to.
The world needs light
