A Church Bell Tolls.

richardpeeej on Nov 21, 2009

A poem about good over evil.

A church bell tolls out far away,
A novel sound in the world today.
I know not why the bell does ring,
Or what it’s for, or anything.

A choir sings out, I do not care;
What is it for? Why is it there?
If it cheers, then I know not how.
Just go away! and leave me now.

The world today is full of sin;
No one cares what state its in.
The world of evil is so deep,
I’ll shut my eyes and go to sleep.

But wait, what light is this I see?
A candle glows in front of me.
Why is it there?, what is this light?
-It tells me times will soon be bright!
