DESPITE THE NIGHT
Despite the Night (Contest What’s Happening ? - Irish Rose)
As stars brighten
'enlighten' dark nights
encouraged I am
to cling real tight
despite black ocean on ship half sunk
with riggings busted by truths 'debunked'
I steel my eyes
against violent sights
of sordid blights
which bleaken 'real' faith
in future bright,
weaken courage or resolution,
yes, sink a soul into absolute dissolution...
Make one believe more in 'wrongs'
than 'just' or 'right'...
So I look high to what is goal--
strengthen me to weather each stormy fight
until thunder and lightening during 'reign' take flight...
After which exists a brilliant sky.
So cling real tight
despite the night...
