Rehabilitation


 


Rehabilitation 


(A lone voice whispers)


Do you know

One of those 


One of the corrupted 


Whose greed makes them take things they don't own to sell


Filled with a need

So deep 


Who looks for a daily high 

Everywhere they go 


As if under a witches spell


For they lack any morals as far as the eyes can see 


Searching for anything linked to Degradation


One of the all consuming servants of Darkness which will forever need to feed


On all things


But particularly love and trust 


And as sure as the moon watches


Have you seen

All their relationships turn into dust


For what those blinded while under that spell don't know


When Darkness 

Is invited inside


It will corrode their soul

Until it's coloured like rust 


Leaving them lonely 

With no one to love or trust 


For they were lost at the very beginning, 

Long ago 


When they followed

Degradation carefully manufactured manifesto 


But in all things dark

There is always hope


For all they might need is a candle


To lead them into the light


Lit by someone 

To help them untangle the darkness which 


If not illuminated 

With forever lead them down the road to their own Golgotha


A new place of skulls and heinous scandal 


So the question is


Will you be one of humanities good examples? 


Or are those lost in the darkness


Too hot 

For you to handle?
