Dark
Let there be no light,
Errie darkness,
Let it surround the world in it's wake
The black cover, let it encompass,
Smother every flame that lasts.
For the dark does not demarcate, you from me and from anybody else,
The dark does not arbitrate,
It unbounds every built fence.
The dark makes us hear the world,
It does not let us know,
You might be pale or blue, noble or brute,
The dark does not let it show.
Light makes us decree,
Good from bad, enslaved from free.
It makes us arrive,
to conclusions,
rested on what we sight.
The dark takes it away,
the power to guage, to purvey,
It makes us realize,
The disguise, the confines,
Turns each of us into a surprise.
