Introduction:
In composing this poem I discovered that todays work contained much more labour than I had ever expected for one post. For those who read such posts, I have to state for any record that this post took much longer than I ever expected.
But for the benefit of introducing this poem, I have been working on a method of explaining this poem and maybe setting any ground for understanding where one could set their minds as they read such a poem. Folks could read this poem and indeed any other poem without reading any background information (if any). But how much better to understanding or enjoying a poem If one had some of that which I like to place along with a poem.
Yet not every time can such a background information or writing could be placed as I would like. Yet I had decided a long time back to place as much as I could along with each poem. Such is the case in this case and without an urge (to place it in local slang, I will try my best not to waffle on) But I will try to keep to a point on this and each post.
As always I am keeping the same format and style on the poem and especially on this case. Even though I have discovered that the largest number of poetry composed at this time is more in free flow Poetry that is pretty much modern poetry. yet I believe that wwhat I try to reach in my standard Will be on the level of those I was inspired by.
About The Poem:
Todays poem can be read as a spiritual type poem, BUT that is not the entire way in which it could be read. Because todays poem is in relation to that battle between Light and dark, Good and Evil or Right and Wrong!! There are a number of terms one could place there that will fit the description about this poem.
There is that battle within each person between that which is right or Good Versus that which is wrong or Evil. But it does not always mean to be evil for every detail, BUT wrong even when it means it was a wrong step. In other words that moral decision or That inner voice that which you reaosn with about any decision that is made.
BUT if you are one that does not take on such decisions with a great deal of effort, yet for me it is often that which I will make… and for any who are believers of God, whether that is Islam, Christianity or other religions. Then you may well find such thoughts visit your mind on occasions.
This is where this poem focuses on and I hope reaches the points I have aimed at. If there are areas that you did not fully understand, feel free to ask and I will do best to explain.
I am not a teacher Nor a preacher or any other kind of religious or social standing, BUT as a Poet who thinks a whole lot on a very wide range of things, I like to share like this in poems and if folks wishes for explainations, I will do best to do so and explain.
Any topic related to Good Versus Evil or Good Versus Bad OR Right Versus Wrong can be a mine field to move through. But I try my best to do so in this case.
Having said all of that, Please Enjoy This Poem:

The Battle
Designed for attitude or thus he felt,
When the dealer dealt his hand as they knelt.
Beyond surprise there pondered yet a move,
A wish to improve is could hit the groove.
The scattered seeds of glory fell as dust,
Losing trust everywhere there sat disgust.
For within the battle still rages on,
There casualties seen in deeds as one.
Street vendors there sell their wares unaware,
Confusion ripe in each open minds there.
Thus insane run everything known to all,
The rest declared obsolete to recall.
The day music fell silent, nothing filled,
Nor need to rebuild when destruction spilled,
Within the souls of humanity straight,
Who can relate in times yet dark with hate.
Anywhere The Light shines, thus All will show
Look out below, that climb is tough to know.
As darker elements battle yet strong,
That ne’er takes too long for to find it wrong.

ENDING THOUGHTS:
Thank you for joining me on this journey, which is my journey thoughwriting and learning more regarding composing poetry. They say that life is a journey which for me translates into poetry a journey onto itself.
Some of my poetry contain topics that at some point will or may not contain issues that readers either agree with or do not, or they have experienced or They will disagree with completely. YET that is Perfectly fine with me. But Poetry is a form of art work that I enjoy and thus using it in a manner to touch or inspire the reader.
My path through writing and publishing Poetry on this blog is a journey beyond any expectations. And numbers have grown past anything I ever expected. In the end of any post I have to Pass on my thanks to you for joining me on this journey.
Poetry for me is a constant learning curve that I always strive to improve. Often due to the speed of my typing and a few other issues, mistakes and typos will find their way into published posts. I continue to work on improving this as I move along.
Please forgive for any such mistakes and for your understanding this.
