Poem: Darkness

by Matthew K.
 
It never was created
It can never be destroyed
It drains the very souls of men
And uses up their strength
It has never lost a battle
It has never had to fight
For all who see or hear it are fallen and stricken with fear
Some have stood against it
But they only utterly fail
Because you can't hope to win against smoking mist
It consumes all who fight
And kills all that don't
The space and time of others
Is where it needs to survive
Light has been its enemy
But darkness always wins
For none can stand to fight
Against nothing... but death
All you can do is delay
Your own destruction
Because darkness has the souls of man
And shall never be left alone
We have brought this upon ourselves no one but us
But everything has consequences
And I guess this is one
Only a miracle can save us
From our own demise
But that's what men are for
The home and lair of evil
The darkness and soul combine
Wiping everything out
The heroes in this world today
Are nothing but a shadow
For they have souls of shadow
But what are we to learn
