To cry, to weep <br />To rise, to keep <br />Your head above the water <br />You try to sleep <br />Not to rise, to keep <br />Safe from reality that awaits <br /> <br />Beware the danger <br />Its golden tip strikes deep <br />Into the eye, into the soul <br />Your land of kings <br />Will crumble <br />With that first ray of light <br />To leave you in a world <br />That rumbles <br />With gun shots and fights <br />Long days and lonely nights <br />Better to shut yourself away <br />From the light<br /><br />Christopher Taber<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-light-8/
