Dark Ages

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Dark Ages Cycles of enlightenment plunge back into darkness. Man's inhumanity or nature's wrath, the Lord of Chaos reigns supreme. Blind to our neighbors' suffering, deaf to his cries, we try to live our insulated lives. Apathy is the plague that decimates hope. Engagement is the key, the beginning of the road to solution. Commitment oils the wheels, but it is a rocky path strewn with pitfalls. We ever relive these dark ages - doomed, it seems, to repeatedly fail to achieve our potential as expressed in our dreams. It is time to wake the sleeper, interrupt the dream and bring attention and action to the desperate needs of this reality. Through turmoil, stress, and earthly strife, we must bring peace into this life! 4/13/2002 Written April 14th, 2002 © on Apr 13 2002 07:16 PM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    0 • 12
