A Ray of Light

by LV  Letalu

Within today’s terror threats and fright,
shines forth hope from a ray of light.
It’s both a friend and fiery fiend
with a dire warning to send.
It prowls with its might,
claiming victory and right.
It spreads its wide wings;
it zings and it stings.
It swims at night,
with ammo for fight.
It seeks after any unrest
and quells a tyrant’s quest
It rivets its laser light
on every dictator’s sight,
issuing democracy’s feat
calling for all evildoers’ defeat.
It is democracy’s stealthy device,
in validating virtue while vilifying vice.
