Scattered Thoughts! by scarphase(m): 6:41am On Nov 17, 2014
Strange to say, I do not know what to write
Seems so hard to decipher wrong from right
They say the darkness is conquered by light
That strength is not measured by might
If they do not know the duration of the night
How then do we expect the proverbial light
The much spoken one that comes at the end of the night
My incoherent thoughts are taking over my mind
Am I alone with this thought or its one of a kind
The extent of damage done to the earth by humankind
Thankfully God isn't one of our kind
Human existence would have been a thing of the past
How did we get here? Yes! How do we manage to kill so fast
Life is now so meaningless as it doesn't seem to last
Speaking the truth now makes one an outcast
ISIS here Boko Haram there
People living in fear
Leaders declaring intentions everywhere
Blood spilling gradually becoming the norm and they do not care
Makes me wonder if 'diaris God'
Chai! Indeed there is God
I stand firm on His word
I make bold to say that He is my lord
Monday morning traffic brings me back to reality
And I realised I just shared a figment of my scattered thoughts
Selah!

You try. If it was written in traffic then, you are a born poet cheesy
