Tangled Up Poem by DM W

I'm so tangled up in vain illusions.
I cannot perceive the pure light of Truth.
O my mind is a maze of deep confusion
As I ponder on Age and recall Youth.
Where is Faith amidst this Vale of Tears?
Where is one who will not bend or break?
Who will not submit to worldly fears?
Who'll sacrifice all for another's sake?

There's a thousand signs in plagued streets of sin.
Yet not one of them has any meaning!
There are those that crave the sacred Kingdom,
But they will not let Love & Mercy in.
In these manic times none of them listen.
Yet they all have something to say.
I want to stand tall and face life head on,
Yet all I seem to do is run away.
