The Dark Or Light City Poem by Lely Atempa

As I look at the city
I see the light in the past

Now I see a dark city
So dark that no one can escape

It has darken over the years
By crimes, and people with no souls

What happened to the kindness
What happen to the love and joy

It's our fault
Why? You ask
We can change things
We just chose not to

We created this dark city
With crimes and hatred
We do nothing about it

Do you like this dark city?

I want the light city back
What about you?

I want the world to smile
Like it use to before.

Now there's war
War, Crimes, and drugs

What happened?
I don't know

The dark is killing us
Making us hate each other

Like Dogs in fights

Why aren't we lions and be leaders
Do we hate the light?
No we just don't care

We can care less
We don't love the world

Well I care
I don't want to live in this dark city

You might, but I don't
So which is it?

The dark or light city

Make A Choice.
