Those Who Do Not Shine

I am a

man

 

Born into a world 

of freaks 

 

I can see 

I can hear 

What is wrong with this

world

 

I see those who 

do not shine 

Trapped in the Spiders

web

 

I know my enemies

I know the darkness

 

Eyes are the window to the soul

and some are dead

 

But can they be brought back to 

life?

 

Can they shine

again?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Ephesians 5:11-15 New International Version (NIV)

11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,
    rise from the dead,
    and Christ will shine on you.”

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,

This is stark, real and

This is stark, real and explosive. It spoke volumes to me on a personal level, which is what true art does, and it hasn't let go. I admire your talent for causing the earth to open up beneath me, and with just a few well chosen words. Amazing.

Thank You. i try to speak in my writing through my own realizations about things, hoping to guide people away from the darkness so they can find the truth.
