Unending cycle

Asahi 2001 (South Africa)

Free verse
Down this hole
This hole full of darkness
The darkness of the abyss
An abyss full of nightmares
Nightmares that give fuel to dreams
Dreams that make us scream out of fear
This fear wakes us up to reality
A reality we must face everyday
In days which we suffer to live
And when those days end
The night swallow the sky
In which darkness spreads
Taking away our sight
Causing us to stumble and fall
