RELIGION Poem: The Light, by Ashley Pehrson

When the light is there
But it’s not as bright
Nobody cares
Or sees your fight

When the light goes out
It can’t come back
This is when people shout
And begin to attack

But where were they
When you screamed in pain
As your light dwindled away
You tried in vain

Despite your tears and cries
No one is there until the light dies
