When Mankind Sees The Light

 

Darkness envelops my very soul. My emotions race from ‘to’ to ‘fro’.

I deny it’s prescience in my Light it’s murky shadow creeps yet into sight.

Clouds of doubt and failure alike, Dark anxieties and falsehoods do spike.

I stand me tall, my jaws clenched tight. Darkness be denied upon this night.

The Past faded from my guilt. Memories now woven upon imaginary quilts.

With inherent strength of an Irish Hand, on my honour this ground I stand.

Today life lives in the here and now. I remember to what I had made my vow.

Compassion, caring and respect a must. Relationships shared with love not lust.

A helping action to one in need, be your Mantra and be your creed.

A smile on your face do so wear. It must be genuine yet forged with care.

Future days are here not yet. Carry forth not one Dark regret.

For if society is forever to exist, then all our fallacies must desist.

Come ye now hear these words I speak. Future days will bear no weak.

Comes a day that all have yearned. Peace, love and compassion learned.

Hatred, greed and disregard of fellow man cannot persist. Important for all if Light and love shall exist.

When we can hug and find joy in our fellow man. When asked for help we do answer ‘Yes, I can.’

When our hearts are pure and life becomes simple. And neighbours smile from dimple to dimple.

War, conflict and prejudice are long past gone. That day births a brand new dawn.

And when we if ever we reach these heights, shall be the day mankind sees the ‘Light’.
