I've Seen them Shine

By Anonymous, Bellville, TX

Some of them shine in brilliant translucence
others will shatter like fallen glass
I've seen them caress, some condescend others
some of them flicker like they don't have a chance
I've seen them fall down, some endeavor to light
a way to those who have none or those who are blind
glowing in apathy, some one neither side of light
the majority will sink, others will fight
