The World Is Flat

The world is flat , you are not here There is no wind ,no still small voice Right dimensions disappear Dulled by loss,too wan for fear There is no sin,there is no choice The world’s a board , you are not there I plucked no roses for your bier There is no God, there is no Christ The vertical has disappeared I do not burn,I shed no tears There is no love, there are no wise. The world is flat , you are not here Disconnected from what’s near Where walks the lamb,the sacrifice? All directions disappeared Dirac’s God did shake the dice Salvation cannot come from priests The world is flat , you are not here The wrong side of the world is fear
