When the false light of the self righteous dims, <br />Fades to go out. <br />Will beliefs of survivors clash? <br />Will those who were taught to trash themselves... <br />Feel orphaned, <br />With an emptiness? <br /> <br />Identities thought theirs, <br />Should have never been adopted! <br />Identities given... <br />Should have long been dismissed! <br /> <br />When the false light of the self righteous dims, <br />Fades to go out... <br />Will the pouting observed be replaced with shouts, <br />Of glee deserved? <br />Or will those disenchanted, <br />Find their addictions unbearable? <br /> <br />They have become accustomed to suppressive customs! <br />Entertained at their detriment! <br />And now lost and bewildered without their masters! <br /> <br />When the false light of the self righteous dims, <br />Fades to go out. <br />Will beliefs of survivors clash? <br />Will those who were taught to trash themselves... <br />Feel orphaned, <br />With an emptiness? <br /> <br />How will they fill the hollowness, <br />Of their existence then, <br />When this happens!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
