wrote this in college
The darkness, like a panther
swiftly running, persuing the light
the darkness, the manhunter
who will win the fight?

Man or beast?
the fight goes on
the darkness is the beast
and who might the man be?

Is it you? Is it me?
Man, woman, boy, girl?
Darkness is in all of us,
but knock it out with light

But darkness knows no light
so it swallows it up with fright
the darkness is hatred
that cannot be with the light of love
