Darkness

by Reem Kazmi aged 9

Darkness, darkness, like the eyelid of the night sky,
Darkness, darkness, the phantom that haunts so many innocent souls,
It is the reason the world is as torn as it is now…

Darkness, darkness, fostering the evil within,
Darkness, darkness, the place where trouble was born,
Humanity was a better race without it…

Darkness, darkness, the enemy that just wouldn’t leave you alone,
Darkness, darkness, blacker than the secrets stored in it,
Yet, never did it give up, regardless of the amulets and legends warding it away…

Darkness, darkness, a world filled with sorrow and regret,
Darkness, darkness, where only the most vicious criminals lurk,
The place where clouds of misery ruled the pitch black sky that never, ever changed…

Darkness, darkness, companion of the prisoners,
Darkness, darkness, visitor of jails,
If only it never really jumped into its unwanted presence…

Darkness is the dungeon that will never cease to capture,
Darkness is the true meaning of gloom,
Darkness is the being that will never ever fade!
