The Other Side (Enlightenment) Poem by Compton Wright

The other side is what god expected much from me
I turn the other cheek to see the lighter side of my soul
No path to follow but only the light that shines the way
I trust no one as my darkness is already spread like poison
But I strive for forgiveness, purity, and truth as I shall be free
This side might be cover with the shadows but never dies
As this side will be my savior, my pathway, and my hope
Down the road to salvation and where heaven is only a mile away

This other side is recognize from the many people
As they follow me like Moses leading his people to freedom
I walk in the name of Jesus Christ and The Lord
As they are both are apart of me that stays in my soul
From my first step and word to my last breath and kiss
Knowing my guardian angel protected long enough to saved
I realize through Hate and Rage leads to Pain and suffering
So repent from my sins and mistakes as my footsteps
To become a better man and to forever strive for a place of endearment

The Other Side is to put a solution to a solution
Making my sins as well as yours disappears and vanishes
If I must leave one side of me to the world it will be that I will
Leave my one and only grain of spiritual sand of enlightenment
Upon the people who needs hope, trust, guidance and truth
That’s my other side as I leave you with this advice from my better half
Never go to war with yourself but to fight what will destroy your well being
Fight for your better side of humanity but your abomination of destruction
Live in salvation, live freely and peacefully and never in insanity or eternal suffering
As this is my peaceful side that shines brighter than a comet and that will never die
From any kind of corruption or evil temptations what so ever as this is my enlightenment
as this story is almost at a closed with one more side of me
needs to be shared with the world
This is my other side of that I chose so…what will be yours…
