The Canyon Trap
A Hollow Cavity Where A Heart Used To Be
I invited all the demons in and set myself on fire.
I sincerely wanted to change so who’s the real liar?
A charming fellow once said:
“If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent one.”
Be that as it may, it sure has been fun
Fading to black as the ashes ignite—
My Heart fills the void—I become the light.

Rommentary:
The quote is from Voltaire. I consider myself an athiest in that I do not believe that existence can ever be created or destroyed; but, like Voltaire, I always found "atheism" to be pretty short-sighted.
