Endemic blindness I witness Through out this Our lavish land In dire need for the wondrous The fire, fire of life These candles lack The time when we walked light And mapped every star Gone Living in madness This cell, our body begins to fade What we see as decay Is but freedom shining through As light Intangible We see But fail to keep Our lives Amount to nothing The downpour of time Wash our wretched skin Our only goal Building up To learn how meaningless Fear is. We fade.
