DARKNESS

3

He knows it is bleak
He knows a moment is reckoning
He knows darkness
He knows it is unstable
He knows the world is crocked
He knows it is wicked
He knows water has to flow
It flows from his cheeks
He knows it will dry
It flows from his armpits
Once again he knows it will fade away like a vanishing wind
He knows a family awaits
He knows hunger strikes like lightning
He knows wandering all over like cattle
Oh yes yet nothing has changed
It is one and the same thing
Turning and turning
He knows the wheel of misfortune will stop
Turning and turning
He knows the wheel of Fortune will start
Darkness will turn into brightness
Darkness and brightness never converge
They are always set apart
They are seasons that are experienced
Soon he will experience the season of brightness
Selling his airtime on these streets
The sun burning him like he is in an oven
He knows its rays will destroy his darkness
Running to customers
He knows light will come running to him
Smiling at clients
He knows The Lord will smile at him
Hope shall stick by him like stikistaff
He knows it will never fade like the taste of a chewing gum
Happening and happening
He knows a bolt of change is being prepared for him
And anytime soon it will strike him
The man can't wait
For he knows God is phenomenal
He knows God is wonderful
He knows God is merciful
He knows God is faithful
He knows God is watchful
He is watching his struggle on these streets
Oh yes he knows
