/// Let There be (No) Light ///

LET THERE BE NO LIGHT
THERE WOULD BE NO PAIN
LET THERE BE NO LIGHT
THERE WOULD BE NO LIFE

KNOWLEDGE 
WOULD ONLY EXIST AS DARKNESS AND
IN THE ABSENCE OF MIND
THERE WOULD BE
NO YOU
THERE WOULD BE
NO ME
NO HANDS TO BE EMPTY
NO HEARTS TO BE FULL
NO BREATH_ING_THING
WOULD SEE
NEITHER NIGHT
NOR DAY

THE SKIES UNOCCUPIED
DEVOID THE LAND
NOT ONE TO SWIM THOSE
SHALLOW WATTERS
OR CRAWL BENEATH THE SAND
THERE WOULD BE NO LOSS
AND NO GAIN
NO HANDS TO REACH
AND NONE TO TOUCH
NO BODY
TO HUNGER
NO LOVE
TO LINGER
NOTHING TO BELONG OR
BREAK AWAY FROM
NO THOUGHTS
NO ILLNESS
NO ACKE
NO IDEAS
NO BLOOD ON THE BLADE
NEITHER POETRY
NOR HATE
NO UNHAPPY CHILDREN
NO ICING ON THE CAKE
NO NAMES WOULD BE GIVEN
NO WARS FOUGHT
NOTHING WOULD BE REMEMBERED
THERE WOULD BE 
NO FUTURE AND 
NO HOPE

NO LONGING
NO WONDER
NO LIES
AND NO TRUTH
THE SHEETS ON MY BED UNSPOILED
AND STAINLESS
AND I
WOULDN'T BE
MISSING
MISSING YOU

DAMN YOU
DAMN THE LIGHT
