Flashes of Light by Dan Hall

Flashes of Light

by Dan Hall

I was moved to write this little poem, about something I was told

My religion said they got flashes of light clear back to days of old

They claimed they got these flashes; They said it was "New light"

They claimed it came direct from God, to those with great insight

It became impossible, to live under their flashing light

Of all those silly "flashes," not one of them was right

Flashing lights are usually bad; It can't be any clearer

Like that red flashing light, seen in your rear-view mirror

Lightening is a bright flash of light

Bringing with it terror and fright

What about Hiroshima? Nagasaki was a big flash of light

The devastation of those two occasions left a terrible sight

All their claims of flashes of light, one thing stands out real stark

If you're only getting flashes of light, you're living in the dark!
