Unspoken realities are a wandering soul
They are found only if you seek them
Here’s an unspoken reality
Truth schemes with a friend
A cloak covering deception
Blinding the world’s perception
Darkness hidden in plain sight
The darkness of the heart
Darkness of the soul
The darkness of the mind
So many forms to meet
The darkness of words
Darkness in the light
The darkness in divinity
Trusted words smoked clouds in my head
Unable to tell an honest glance from another
But after many an ageing sun finally
Did tears pour when the truth bled
Look at the exchanging hands of power
They have me question hearts of sincerity
Why should you exist in an ungodly world,
Where you are but every man’s bluff?
The darkness of power
The darkness of greed
Darkness of sorrow
The darkness of need
But the truth is no star of the night
The mother of all black holes
A shape-shifting mystery
Vanishing ink from the pages of history
Playing a cruel game against humanity
No lie at all, truth and darkness coexist
In life, in death, and in between
Revealing their bond when all is lost
Darkness in the lies
In the ground and the skies
Darkness in a smile
In the simple, in the wise
