Darkness to Darkness

The grim reality of life,
Enshrouds the worldview of some,
Their pain and their strife,
Causes anger to block out the sun

//

Brightness to Darkness

What was once an empire?
Can be torn to ruins,
Society forces pressure,
Regardless how well you’re doing

//

Darkness to Brightness

The journey is dangerous,
And the odds are against them,
But the patient and fearless,
Will no longer be damned

//

Brightness to Brightness

Comfortable origins,
Privilege and family,
Blessed with all means,
Embracing path to glory

NOTE: The concept is inspired by Buddha's observation on the 4 types of people in this world. By no means am I a Buddhist but the observation did made me ponder what kind of person am I, what conditions was I brought up in and what was I working towards to?

So, who are you? Where are you running from and where are you running to?
