Confined In Light
confined within the only light
the crushing dark surrounding
we hold together for the best
corruptions cries are sounding
behold compounded human might
untiring in our righteous fight
confined within the growing light
confined within the growing light
holding firm and strong
we find in others strengths and faults
and things for which we long
entropy comes to ordered minds
who shall learn to fear night
confined within the shrinking light
confined within the shrinking light
relations fall apart at last
infighting breeds contempt and fear
our minds have left the murdered past
left to our corrupt devices
the futures left dead, bleak, and stark
engulfed forever in the dark
