When Darkness Falls
When darkness falls, good men ponder evil deeds while evil men sow rotting seeds fermenting in their brains.
When darkness falls, protecting light is washed away. The wall that by the light of day is thick between the living and the dead is hardly there at all.
When darkness falls, kids take the steps by leaps and bounds, listening for the sounds of hands that wait to grab their feet.
When darkness falls, the heart of man is turned to blackened charcoal and his soul to vile stew.
When darkness falls, the wise stay home. The desperate and the stupid roam to find their awful fate.
Nice Bob! Very well done!

Interestingly done. I like it. I’d say protective instead of protecting. I’d also take out the ‘the’ before steps. Just suggesting. Keep well.
