CORRUPTIVE SOULS

CORRUPTIVE SOULS

Out of created darkness 
A spark of light did shine 
Revealing the blindness 
Of souls defiled 

Unable to reach 
Their heavenly goals 
Cursed by the darkness 
Were their condemned souls 

But the light saw their awful plight 
Stumbling in their minds madness
In forever night 

Love and compassion 
Moved the light 
And with a deliberate thrust 
Dispelled the night 

Liberated by the light 
Their souls became alive 
Knowing good and evil 
With a choice to survive

But the darkness was embedded 
In their depraved minds 
And with lips of serpents 
They cursed the light.

Wilford Barker.

More than nicely penned and all the dark imagery cast through-out.
And a cruel chance game of hope offered then hope rejected absolutely by too far gone entrenched and forever tainted/cursed souls.
Great imaginative write and morality message and enjoyed from beginning to end.
Full deserved honours and respectfully given.
Thank you for sharing Wilford and I wish you well.

Hi Shaun..
I thought this one was long gone and forgotten.. lol
But you my friend.. has resurreresurrected 
it from the poetry grave..  as it should.
Those that love the light..  comes to the light. And their lives are transformed. 
Thanks so much for taking the time.
I will do the same.

Hey Wilford and thank you and I have the time in the next few days away from work to make a bee-line for members I've been meaning to look at, but time would not allow or to be honest just too jaded after a demanding day.
So here I am and your poetry flows and beats not well, but MUCH more than well.
Great writing and imagery that projects and stands out.
And back tomorrow to read many more and full respect to your good self Wilford.
Take care and all the best to you and the loved ones around you.
