Look at it!  
Closer still,  
if you could. 
Do not shake 
Or shiver. 
 
What is it  
that makes you;  
Death or life?  
 
Who can see 
The sinner  
in the sin?  
 
Who’s finer; the victor  
Or the other?  
 
Is not darkness 
The grave of light?  
Are they far away 
Sound and silence?  
 
So is life,  
a graveyard. 
 
Now, look,  
look around. 
 
Closer still,  
If you could. 
 
Don’t you get  
An eerie feel?  
 
That’s it. Eerie! ! !
