Introduction

I heard a line in a TV program that inspired this poem

I will use the terza rima poetry form that Calvin London showed me:

Here is the description:

A terza rima poem is an Italian form of poetry that consists of tercets that follow a chain rhyme in which the second line of each stanza rhymes with the first and last line of the subsequent stanza. It ends with a couplet rhyming with the middle line of the penultimate stanza. The pattern is ABA BCB CDC DED EE.

Let The Light Of Love And Empathy

Be Shone By Us On Everyone To

Disperse The Darkness Of Cruelty

Let The Light Of Our Love Show We're True

To All That May Need Our Helping Hand

Disperse The Darkness Of Hate For You

πŸ”₯

Let The Light Of Care Be Shown Now And

Be There For Those Who May Have Fallen

Disperse The Darkness, Away, Black Sand

Let The Light Of Love All Enlighten

The Hurt With A Caring Caress

Disperse The Darkness, It Is Rotten

Let The Light Lead Us To Be The Best

Disperse The Darkness, We Are The Blessed
