The Brighter Side of Light


I wont allow peace of mind
The chance to confide, to open my mind
To the brighter side of light
To the hope in this world, deep inside you and I
To these emotions deep inside

With so much hatred in the world
With greed demanding war is worth
The lives lost and hatred spurned
The hope we yearn is earthed

I can’t get excited about people anymore
With so many hell bent on needless war
I'd rather be alone, and in fact, I think I will
Alone in this world, with this judgeless sky
And these emotions deep inside

With war and terror across the earth
In hope we continue to prolong the search
To open our minds in the hope that we find
The brighter side of light

To create a better being, a better life for you and I
Peace for our children, and peace for mankind
In this world we all live in, the same world we all die
There is hope in this world, deep inside you and I

If we just open our minds
And take a look inside
For the brighter side of light …
And that little peace of mind …

  • "Always look on the bright side of life" or light as it were :). (sorry had to add the Monty Python reference)

    I love this poem! I like how you point out that which is so wrong and still see hope for the future. :D
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen
