Dark Room

Provide some light in a dark room.
Stand up and make a stand in the gloom.
Take a stance against what is wrong.
Start now, you’ve already taken too long.
It’s crumbling at our feet.
No refuge on a dirty street.
Perfume and linen.
Cannot hope to rise.
Things can only get worse I surmise.
So form a testament and stick to your guns.
Shine in goodness.
When evil comes do not run.
Stand firm in turmoil.
And tower above it all.
Or lose yourself in the depths.
Begin to stumble.
Begin your fall.
