Analysis of The Darkness
Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)
I like the new.
I like the old.
What will it be?
Will it be bold?
Will the caress of madness
Lead to gladness?
Will it fade?
Will it be made?
Will the darkness evade?
Or will it be a shade?
Will good times suffer
And make you choke like a muffler?
