"Fading"


“Fading”

cji
12/8/16

As a dim light burning
power running short
less and less light seen
grasping in the fog
mists arising all about
soon only shadows meek
our nations struggles weak
seeking fresh air to shout
snakes sunning in the bog
waiting to strike unseen
too many lies to report
too soon–too late yearning;

A new day is awakening
while the old try to forbid
un-wanting freedoms new
into false habits they grew
blowing off their secrets hid
fading the gloom shaking;

Gather about to hear
angels about to cheer
voices raised loud/clear
for our freedoms dear!
