Before
I want to return to the nothingness
Before creation breathed fire
And stars burned lies
Before gods were invisible
And prophets had eyes
I want to return to the nothingness
Before compassion was heroic
And suffering worth seeing
Before humans were civil
And sentient a being
I want to return to the nothingness
Before armies tilled the earth
And flags touched the sky
Before glory was a virtue
And prejudice rained pride
I want to return to the nothingness
Before hate held hands
And equality was a seat
Before tyranny was religious
And history can repeat
I want to return to the nothingness
Before children knew pain
And hunger swallowed lives
Before families were aborted
And love beat wives
I want to return to the nothingness
Before profit needed money
And charity a name
Before rape had a victim
And justice no shame
I want to return to the nothingness
Before I look in my heart
And try to understand
Before I believe in miracles
And that death has a plan
