Our Darkness

Within the last
Year and a half
Two Murder/Suicide ...
Incidents
Have penetrated
Through the
Social Sphere
Of people I know
The first occurred
Through youthful
Jealous rage
While the latter
Was spawned
By over whelming
Financial debt.
I can say
That I do
relate to the Sorrow
I have tasted the depression
I have woken up to the
Knowledge
That I have failed
The ones I love
My family
That I adore
And though
I have entertained
The thought
Of climbing
Onto
The. Great Spirit
In the Sky’s
Carousel
I never even
In the most lowest
Point in my life
Would ever consider
Holding my lover
Captive
To the final
Journey
To the great beyond
Hearing the news
Today
Left me
Feeling
Out of breath
Much like
Being hit
In the solar plexus
Paralyzed
By the evil
Pure evil
That has
Contaminated
The community
I live in
No one
Is left
Unscathed
And the
Why
Will forever
Be left unanswered
While our spirits
Plea to
Forget.............
