THE LONG DARK SHADOW

The long dark shadow
As the light casting its beam
Softly reaching out to the darkness
It isn’t easy as it spreads its wings

The shaft of golden light
Parading for all to see
Clear images even in dark corners
Yet people still turning blind
They don’t see dark shadows
Peeping and waiting for the opportunity
The carelessness of people

The night screams
The running feet
The crying in the dark shadows
The life of broken dreams

People only look
Pretending nothing happens
Even good Samaritans shy away
The victims can sue them
Of bodily injuries or traumas

In the dark alleys
People walk in groups
Afraid of what may happen
You are all alone

The long dark shadow
Stretching far ahead
Looking in you realize
It isn’t your cup of tea
Walking alone
In the dim dark alley
