A shadow

What happens when you turn on the light?

The shadows are chased out by the bright.
But when it come in reverse
The night comes back, dark and perverse.
The thoughts of monster of lust and agony
Come running like a ragging cacophony
The crimes streak the night like the sun breaks the day
And we stand here out of the way
Like it doesn't matter, like we don't ever care
We just keep on moving and pretend to be unaware

Like a match dropped in the middle of the forest
A fire that spreads like a  directed blaze in all directions
We all want to stop it but how can we?
How can we stop a fire that has been growing since before we were born?
How can all the pain and suffering stop?
The answer it can't and it won't
Like a small child standing still as the sun goes down... An ever growing shadow
