"Beacons of Light" #Poetry

Some through their existence
become shining beacons of light
while others in their way
become visages of fright
takes a bow, takes a bow
but through it all we see the same
we know there's a better way
we won't suffer any more killing
and there's plenty of time to play

When we talk of our One Love
it means for all the world
for the richest in their indifference
to the starving little girl
We would bring them all inside the tent
where peace comes here for all
there is no reason for sad lament
one only needs to call

We will follow that Beacon
and the Traveler knows it well
he's never said a thing
but I'm sure he can tell
There's a direction to be walking
and he guides us in that way
but in our conversation,
there is no need to say,

Some through their existence
become shining beacons of light
and in their noble glory
it shines into the night
where the demons cannot come to us
they know there is no point
for peace and love and all good things
leave them no-one to appoint
