Epidemic Of Emptiness

Under the cover of night it is exposed.
Lust, pain, loneliness, and the solution. 
Midnight opens what daylight closed. 

Wide awake inside a broken institution,
free to do what’s right without prying eyes.
Clear judgement doesn’t require caution.

Silence is pure and exposes all the lies
that created this epidemic of emptiness. 
Cloaked with anonymity a taste electrifies. 

A skyline of stars that’s filled with finesse
illuminates a path to sanctify the darkness.
