Day Of Enlightenment

 I used to walk with fear in my mind,
as darkness fills the void in my heart
I fear not the bright sun that can blind,
but my own shadow, never to depart.

Now that I have awakened from a deep slumber
I feel rejuvenated and free from misguided beliefs
Faith deeply rooted keeps the glowing embers
grounded by traditions without signs of relief.

We were brainwashed for so long
by forces of Evil and keepers of Truth;
it's hard to see white when all you can see
is a black dot hiding in plain sight.  

Sometimes their looks can be deceiving,
so does act of kindness they are giving;
don't be fooled by the cloaks of sheep -
might haunt you when you're past asleep.

"Always seek for Truth,
and the truth will set you free."
Always keep an open eye,
but don't believe in everything you see...
Keep your mouth shut, and try to listen
because only in listening, will you see!

Now that we have reached
the day of enlightenment,
and enjoyed every life's fulfillment;
we try to focus more
on spiritual upliftment,
and share our joys
with loving hearts...
Contentment.

We succeeded
in our respective goals,
regardless of
educational attainment.
As life's dawn is fast
approaching...
we're still full of excitement;
although we are
still searching...
for lives lost in-between.
