Candle flames shudder and dance

In panic, in beautiful fright

'neath waves of eenebrosity

Like beacons of hope

Savorily extinguished (extinguished)

Sundered rays of hope

Like severed waterlines

From the famished

People likened to vermin

Scurrying in the dark

Muttering elegies

In the name of radiance

A relic of their recent past

No cloud will thin

No crowd will thicken

Crumble under the umbral

Tyranny of darkness

“Let there be light”

No light

Abyssium
