Darkness

By grumpy3445

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Do not pull me into the darkness or tempt me with your empty madness an insanity that corrupts turns love into hate hope into despair for I have laughed at death and in so doing, love life I choose the light and the sun to live with the birds joyfully singing destroying the darkness that clouds my soulI wrote this while watching Apocolypse Now (whole uncut version). I thought the parts which were supposed to be horrible, were rather tame, by todays standards. It would have been better if someone who had actually tasted the horror of war, directed it. I did empathize with the characters falling into despair, but I rejected that despair. John Written March 5th, 2002 © on Mar 05 2002 02:51 PM PST   18 • 0 • 12
