The darkest of paths is full of light. <br />Such a barren road is engulfed in a burning blight. <br />Those who walk it are forever blind <br />and this forsaken plight is the most terrifying kind. <br /> <br />So I tread lightly, black lantern in hand. <br />I spur off the light with my umbral brand. <br />I open their eyes <br />by casting off white lies. <br /> <br />So they can see into the darkness <br />Whatever the blackest of truths may bring. <br />To escape igorance' carress. <br />To make knowledge king.<br /><br />Agrias Oaks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-black-lantern/
