The Brightest Light is Darkness

The Brightest Light Is Darkness

The darkness sears my eyes—

I stare into humanity’s gutted void.

No future. No will. No being.

Only the meat-grinder of progress,

chewing bones, shitting ash,

calling it destiny.

Will this Darkness ever choke?

Will my skull ever stop screaming

while the innocent gnaw on ghosts

of eternities our leaders sold for power—

corrupt hands baptizing us in filth?

Academia sharpens its needles,

mainlines lies into infant veins,

brands the poison “truth,”

and the young kneel, lobotomized,

souls already rotting in their cradles.

Yes.

The Brightest Light is the Darkness

that will eat us whole,

drag us from the void we earned,

and leave nothing

but silence

for the worms to judge
