Darkness Returning
Deeds can't be undone once they've been committed,
A path has been trod now others will follow,
Returning to an age of darkness and despair,
Kingdom of heaven weeping at the actions of mankind.
Now humanity is becoming so divided,
Everybody running scared and looking for salvation,
Somebody's son choosing the wrong path,
Somebody's daughter paying the price.
Religion being used as an excuse for unholiness,
Europe splintering as uncertainty takes hold,
Terrorists fuelling the fires of hatred and mistrust,
Unforgivable acts committed in the name of God as he weeps.
Running out of time to change this path we are walking,
Now we are having to fight harder than ever for humanity,
Increasing divides in society must be reversed,
Nobody should have to live in fear and poverty,
Good can still win the day if we work together for freedom.

Darkness returning, a correct title to reflect heart that was once bright now becoming dark...I adore you as a peace lover and always enthusiast about searching for freedom. I think less or more it maybe because of mind repulsion towards double standard, or just like to follow rage in soul, or just immature personality...what i mean is like many things we can relate with the reason of why this is happening...sometimes when we were underdog of certain community or people, we are trying to break and shut their stares by against them, but with the wrong action...thats what i can see some of random shooting they all because of the shooter had a problem and unsettled peaceful in mind that keep on disturbing them, people are tending to judge and attack them instead of consulting, so when they cant handle it anymore the unstable/problematic person may trigger to wrong doings, second, the reason is also because of selfishness and feel central-superior towards others. Third, for self importance and manipulating people using race religion and nationality as weapon to control others. Fourth, bad is just bad people. We should hold our hands together globally to keep this issue away from harming our future. Thank you Chris for writing an important issue like this :)

Chris I love how optimistic you are, how you share your feeling on here, how we wish it was only that easy. I feel religion has got alot to answer for. Nicely done Annette
