A World Consumed In Darkness
Nighttime isn't like it used to be
Stars aren't as bright
They lost their twinkle
Constellations are broken
The moon is never full
The air isn't as crisp
Not a cricket to be heard
Lightning bugs are extinct
The world consumed in darkness
People fighting
Robbing killing
From other poor folks
With blue collar jobs
Coming home from work
Or heading to the graveyard shift
To make a living
Drunk people
High people
Buyers and suppliers
With the same sales pitch
"Yo I got that fire!"
But yet there's still no light
In a world consumed in darkness
The sun patiently waits
For the opportunity to arise
Distribute it's glow
For all to see
Rays of optimism
Blinding the population
That's now unfamiliar
With good mornings
Many dawns postponed
It's been a long time coming
For a world consumed in darkness
