Shadows fall on the lighted path
We are yet to know what darkness is to come
For years, the torches have lit our paths
Now the downpour brings only black
The sun once luminated our ways
Now the eclipse brings cold, dark days
Plagues and epidemics fester and spread
Spirits and souls are sold and dead
Murder, hate, betrayal, and lust
Land once green; now bones and dust
Playgrounds now empty
Swingsets; they cry
The laughing children they once knew
Have simply died
