Does this Darkness have a name?

Does this darkness have a name?
This cruelty, this hatred, how did it find us?
Does it steal into our lives? or do we seek it out and embrace it?

What happen to us?
That we now send our children into the world,
like we send young men to the war,
hoping for their safe return.
But knowing that some will be lost along the way.
When did we lose our way?
Concealing by the shadow, swallowed whole by the darkness.

Does this darkness have a name?
Is it you on him?

P.S. Its from the drama One Tree Hill, find it really meaningful, though it sounds pretty Dark`. But this let me think about how lives can be so vulnerable and yet strong. Its all about choices. You can choose to face it, embrace it, or choose to let the darkness and fear swallow you bit by bit, day by day. You just have to overcome it, be strong and fearless.
