Eternal Light (poem)

I've done things I'm not proud of,
And I'll admit to it;
Everything we think loud of,
Is supposed to be a hit.

But what about the time when we lose ourselves,
To our imagination; low and behold,
We put our rational thought on the shelves,
Thinking, there's no need to withhold.

Until the time several hours after,
When we realise what we've done;
Had a too much to drink and ended up with a gun.

Thinking about the thing,
That at the time seemed shameless!
Thinking about the thing,
The person that we just shunned!

Who knew! That we could do such a thing.
Who knew! That we would go and rob a bank.
Not I for one, would do that crank.
Because, I can't go and read your mind!

So here you are, in the quad,
Facing the bully that makes you blind,
And smacks you with a cod.

Saying: 'Please! Leave me alone!
Here take my money it's yours!'
Hoping he's not going to break a bone.
Then you go out to all these doors,

Walked in and said hello,
Just to swing your fist and break his jaw!
Breaking one of the Bible's laws:
"Thy shall love thy neighbour as thyself."

So who is then in the wrong?
Not me! I didn't start it!
Yet I was the one who continued it.

You people say it's alright,
To hold your ground and wait till they say sorry.
Well, how wrong are you to make that accusation!

This is where I put my foot down.
This is where I make a stand!
Just because you're bigger by a couple pounds;
Just because you make a demand;

Doesn't mean that I can bash you!
That I can state my rules.
I should be there to help you.
Not sit on you like a bunch of mules!

I've been treated like this two you know!
And I'm sick of laying around like this;
Just something that you can mow!
So, I'm going to get up and make you miss.

But one things going to be different:
I'm not going to use any force.

I'm going to tell you what was meant,
Of the actions a bully takes,
To show you the ways he was bent;
To make you feel his pain.

I'm going to put my offer on the table,
Though I don't care what you say,
' Cause I'm going to go enable,
The strength to say no to pain.

My acceptance is of everyone.
We should all be allowed a choice,
To say yes or no to that voice.

So please listen! Hear my soul!
Read my words! Think of this message!
What was the point of St. Noel!
And of those fight in this age!

For freedom of speech!
Freedom of equality!
Say no to the leech.
And say yes to acceptancy.

Stop the wars!
Stop the fights!
Stop the selfish gnaws!
Cause I want the right,
Of Eternal Light.
