Analysis of Dark
Leonard Castillo 1963 (Colorado)
Dark as pitch thoughts filled with dread
Nothing to focus no where to go
A singularity that consumes
A sight less tomorrow there is no light
Yesterday's today's have come full circle
Highways of shattered dreams
Fastways leading nowhere
Empty boulevards broken avenues
Dreams unfulfilled
Death looms all to familiar
High as sky it was inevitable
Comes crashing down
Years of indestructible living brings endings
Dark empty lifeless life
Ceases to be
Was a hero
