Where Sunshine Darkens

Courtesy: Somewhere on Blogger

You can’t tell me
The various shades of misery
I’ve seen enough for myself
So you can’t show me
The way around its gardens
I trod those forbidden paths myself
I’ve experienced the land where sunshine darkens
I’ve wiped sweats of death off my brow
My spot in this existence is a shroud
An untapped resource of sorrow
With no promise of tomorrow.
I have walked the streets of the ghetto,
Traveled the well-beaten paths of unhope,
And I got no respect for intellectual duplicity;
Education is expensive.
