It takes very little energy
to maintain darkness
I think that’s why we do it
Once deception is established
all one has to do to see it’s kept
is not turn on the light
and as long as night reigns
so also does the ruse
It’s a simple ray of morning
sunshine that pierces the walls
breaks the cardinal rule
spilling in through cracks
and crevices we couldn’t see
by light of denial
Then the mansion is exposed
and we also
laid bare by daybreak
suddenly naked and ashamed
and quite surprised besides
though we should have known this
day would come
We should have longed for it
Most often
we are caught unawares
for we have let down our guard
We have spent our diligence
maintaining darkness
