Dark Stories
Dark stories tell so much more
than escapades that words explore
these scratch the surface in attempts
to find the final consequence
beneath the depths plumbed within
are other layers attached to sin
asking why the lights are dimmed
lest the truth be condemned
these tales are whispered smoke
denied existence in remorse
as they’re shared across the world
no matter what the tomes implore
wishing only that righteousness
inform the actions of all men
even while the narrative
states how truly life is led.
