Voice In the Dark Part 2

Everything 
Is human, 
Everything 
Is mortal,
Everything
Makes mistakes,
Everything
Is foolish,
And above
All of that,
Everything 
Knows not all,
  Such sense must 
  Not be true
Are you sure 
Old rocks break
To form new 
Rocks, it is
The same as 
Old humans 
Preparing 
Young humans.
Landscapes can
And will die 
Some day near
Computers
Machines too
Make mistakes
Foolish things 
Such as ants
Flies spiders
Search homes for 
Food shelter 
Instead find 
Only death
Even us 
Humans who
Stand tall as 
Kings over 
Animals
Know not all
-Silent as 
-One can be
-The man was
Rebuttal 
You have none?
First time for 
Everything
I have taught 
You the first
Now its time
For the Last
Lesson, so
It shall be.
This lesson 
May be a 
Far cry from
The first one, 
A bit more 
Obscure too,
But your eyes,
Will speak truth 
For this one,
Here it is
…
Things like to 
Come in threes
As you see
Us, you know
This be truth
There, There are 
Your answers 
Here is my  
Knowledge friend
Do with it 
As you must
  But wait I
-Said the man 
-Hare to late
-As the cloaked 
-Figure with 
-The candle
-Brought out 
-Its mouth to 
-Blow light from
-Everyone’s 
-Sight sound mind
-Just before 
-The mouth took
-Its final blow
-A glimps reached 
-The mans eye
-The mouth it 
-Belonged to 
-A woman’s
-Who’s mouth draped 
-In scratches,
-Scares and burns
-Her mouth stood 
-In front of 
-Candles flame
-And said soft
-Faint and weak
-Now you know 
-Deity
-As she blew 
-Candle flame
-Out from sight.
