SOME AND STILL OTHERS

        Some looked upon the darkness

        And it brought fear to their hearts

        Saying there be monsters there

        Still others looked upon the darkness

        And saw nothing and said

        Let us walk into the darkness

        And see what really be there

        And if there are monsters

        Cannot they be tamed?

        But if untamable

        Shall we not leave them the darkness?

        Still having the light

        And if there be no monsters at all

        Will not the darkness be lifted?
