DEMOLITION DAY

There it was, a door
Shut, locked, hidden
Where memory held
Information, wisely forbidden

Mama led as I stood
Allowing self to feel
The stuff in the void
Only matter, I deemed real

She gave me the key
I heard the lock give way
The door swung open
As death and decay

....announced

IT"S DEMOLITION DAY

No more walls or space
For sorrow, grief, and despair
Open territory for all
Who need an answer to prayer

LOVE lives here
REVELATION operates the land
TRUTH stands at the gate
WISDOM will help fear understand

...unwelcome
