The pit

Hasan Johnson 1980 (Peoria Illinois)

Sonnet
Darkness in the deep
No light for me to see
There’s no way out
Cry fight beg complain
When the pit owns you it brings shame
Enemies were friends in the past
How long can misfortune last
Turn from your wicked ways
The wages of sin is death
Die to self daily
There’s no way out
