Light Years Away Poem by Kelvin Rush

We're light years away from paradise
Stuck in this hellhole with the rats and lice
Dreading the night when the darkness appears
Anxious and uptight can't escape from the fears

The maniac inside takes full control
He spreads his bitterness contaminates your soul
It's a slow painful death a horrible ride
As he drags you kicking to the other side

You know what's coming you prepare for the worst
Once it starts it can never be reversed
A few seconds more then the torture begins
You collapse to the floor and emit your sins

You scream so loud to block out the pain
It's lethal and proud it's crass and insane
Your body shuts down that's all it can do
If you pass out now you'll never make it through

In the end all that's left is a fragile shell
No life form inside no story to tell
Will we ever find peace no one can say
One thing's for sure we're light years away
