Today’s word is “benighted” ... bih-nahy-tid ... intellectually or morally ignorant; unenlightened. (Dictionary.com)
Dusk
The benighted people feel,
Beam by beam the light recede,
Bit by bit their world is failing,
Despite their honest, simple needs.
Things seemed simple in the past,
Morality was tried and true,
Standards stood as if in stone,
Those who ignored them were but few.
When we’re stripped down to the core,
What humanity remains?
If all is relativity,
One word sums up; it is insane.
