My World Poem by Jeremiah Wimbrough

My world is fading into darkness.
It takes my friends,
my family,
my love,
my soul,
my life...

In my world I wonder why,
why i am still here.

I walk among the ruins of everything I once loved.
The corpses of my friends and family lie there.
Yet I pay no attention.

I keep walking.

Walking towards the far off light that seems farther away with each step.
But I keep going in the hope that it is a new and better world.
One in which that everything is what its should be.

I may walk in my world of darkness today.
But one day i shall have a passage,
a passage that lets me see both worlds.
The world of light and darkness.
