DARK KNIGHT



Life,
We live life to the fullest
Enjoying the pleasure and grits
In royals and honor
Life,
We are in it
We emits and breeds in it daily
We are the dark knights,
The scornful militant

When we were children,
Rain was a beacon of growth
Age started to stalk our innocence with shadows
Caskets and dreams were flashing the cracks of our youth
Fate has turned the universe to a sewer
It reeks of mourning cloaks
We are afraid the cloaks will consume everyone's dignity

Hazardous and wild decisions
We take them to the dearest
We all don't know about life
We all are born in care and love,
some with silver spoon in their mouths
We never thought life is war
We fight for our survival in it daily
We laugh at daylight
Mourn and reminisce at midnight
We live as dark knights
We fight to live, love and be loved
