Too Far

Description

Too Far
Your inky blackness called to us.
Seemed sweet in our mind.
We made effigies to you,
Of fire, the light made us blind.
We scrambled for something more,
An escape we were quick to grant others.
We fought and bled and fought some more
Our pushing, our shoving, our clawing.
It smothers.
But then, O then, we built our pyre,
Burning for all to see.
And after many sacrifices,
Blood spilt upon the world we wished to flee
We broke you with not even a thought.
You screamed back “NO!”
We answered… with silence. A pause.
We would not venture were we feared to go.
But push came to shove.
The devil was driving it would seem.
We walked through the glass we left.
Once more ignorant of your silent scream.
We kept the need for blood.
It became part of us now.
Still pushing without any need.
Our children didn’t need to be shown how.
Then like a flash. No light. No sound.
We broke what was broken before.
There was deafening screams, silent,
Crying out as we tore.
Can we now listen, all hearing as one.
Dear atrophied gods we will be undone.
While clinging to the darkness that we tried to snuff.
Have we gone too far.
Or not far enough?
