This day I decided to write a poem. This is a revised version of a previous dream that was not originally written in poetic form.
While my poems may not be considered literary masterpieces, they hold profound meaning for us all. They evoke emotions and resonate deeply within our souls. Please enjoy…
A Poem of Darkness and Redemption
by Bari Marcus Anthony
Pride had cast him high above the rest,
Darkness slowly creeping through his chest.
His cult, blinded by his radiant glow,
Saw no evil, no harm could they know.
A king turned narcissistic, vain and blind,
His ego swollen, a twisted mind.
Ignoring the suffering, the poor, the weak,
A cloak of light, a shadow did he seek.
A man consumed by his own glory’s might,
Unaware of his place in the cosmic light.
A pawn of life, trapped in his own greed,
Darkness spreading, a wicked seed.
Oh, the horrors mankind has unleashed,
Darkness filling every corner, every beast.
What was once right, now twisted and wrong,
What was once wrong, now carries along.
The living turned to dead, a chilling sight,
As I walked through the valley of life’s blight.
A sense of unease, a growing dread,
Something amiss, a darkness ahead.
Was it a dream, or a nightmare’s hold?
My eyes opened, the truth unfolded.
Tears of sorrow filled my heart with pain,
Oh, my dear God, I am awake again.
We are in the Valley of Death, I see,
A witness to mankind’s cruelty.
Pride and evil, a deadly pair,
Hell on Earth, a despair beyond compare.
As I fade into the sands of time, a mere speck within the vast expanse of our temporal dimension, As time marches on and I become a mere footnote in history, I hope my writings will endure. May my words continue to resonate with readers long after I’m gone.
It’s my hope my science fiction stories will also endure, leaving a lasting legacy. They will be remembered for generations to come.
This is a dream come true for any writer, a culmination of countless hours of dedication, creativity, and perseverance. To see one’s words published and shared with the world is a truly rewarding experience. It’s a testament to the power of imagination and the enduring impact of storytelling.
