Never once did he imagine
A dark scar upon his skin;
Burning, searing, marking,
Telling the world who owned him.
Never once did he see
Those eyes, filled with tears
Exposing to him
All of her motherly fears.
Not once did he consider
How he would feel
When he was forced
Down on his knees to kneel.
He became a dark son,
Filled with rage and fear,
Because in his heart
He knew his dark end was near.
He became a coward,
Running from the task;
Enlisting others to help him
When the moment came at last.
He sinned and he broke
The trust that he would shine.
He stole the hope from himself,
And he drew the final line
Sealing his own fate
And the fate of the others;
That despicable dark son,
Among dark sisters and dark brothers.
Dark son,
Black night.
Dark sun,
Endless night.
Dark mark,
Burning fear.
The end;
So close, so dark, so near.
That despicable dark son,
So cowardly, so wrong;
Filled with hate and prejudice
His dark life long.
So sad, so true,
He had no other way,
While he waited endlessly
For the break of day
To release him from his prison
And burn away his mark;
So maybe, just maybe,
That dark son would get a sunlit start.
