Light the Path Ahead
.
Into a new dark age
we go, marching,
careening headlong
[of soapbox poetry
there is no want
for many a voice
loudly rail and rant]
the terrain of our
condition and that

and, as lovers ever true,
we will live and laugh and love again
like lovers that are new

fantasies we fear are facts that leave us of true h...
