In the night sky
there is a great divide
growing larger each moment
no where to hide
Filled with evil
murder and greed
some automatically drawn
feeling a great need
Light failing to contain it
feeding on power
when will it end
no one knows the hour
Poverty and disease
failure to help our fellow man
screams of pain
souls wiped up with a bedpan
Fire and pride
there is much smoke
some try to fight it
others begin to choke
The divide comes
in for the win
when an act of kindness comes
causing it to thin
Small acts of love
increases the light
the divide closes
defeated this night
