Poem:
Control Can Leave You Blind

Control, with whom does it lie?
God is the One with whom will decide

He laid down His life by dying on the cross
Leaving those in tears to answer to The Boss

The blue sea lies with creatures given from above
But the mysterious ones who are alien, are the ones who needs God's love

A green lily pad lays with a white flower upon it
A sign that Spring is coming and and the rain drops sit on it

Lightning storms the sky to remind us of this higher power
Leaving us scared of what is to come the next hour

Darkness shuts out all the light..and those who are left are confronted with yellow eyes
Ghosts will be haunting us for those who don't believe...leaving all those left behind with mouths that are dry

Hinges on the doors creaking ever so slowly
Leaving us with fright and horror saying "Holy Moly!"

And when it all ends and we're left sitting in the black
We're all blind because we simply turned our back.
