Analysis of In the shadows we do live.

In the shadows.

I see children, but they're not playing in their room.

Their innocence lost in the gloom.

Their eyes filled with fear,

Their voices not clear,

In a world filled with impending doom.

They sit in silence, their minds so consumed,

By the darkness that has loomed.

No laughter or joy,

Just sadness and ploy,

In a reality where happiness is entombed.

What happened to the days of carefree delight?

When laughter echoed through the night.

Now they're burdened with worry,

Their hearts feeling heavy,

In a world where childhood takes flight.

But we must not give up on their dreams.

We must light a spark, so it seems.

To bring back their smiles if only for a little while.

And erase the miles,

Of sadness that haunts their young schemes.
