there’s an emptiness that
consumes the world,
like a newborn babe does her
mother’s *******
it needs the force of life -
to become a weapon for death;
as it kills the light switch
in the warehouse of hope;
as the sound of darkness
blinds even the bats;
as the echoes of piousness sink
to turn lawless mercenaries;
as the lantern flickers off
to the heaving of hedonism
that spawns in the void -
dark, and unconquerable.
until someone strikes a match.

to turn lawless mercenaries;
as the lantern flickers off
to the heaving of hedonism
that spawns in the void -
