EONS BEFORE
eons before
we were the gods
when the world was a baby
then we thought all we did
were godly
in our ignorance
we troubled the masses
who we thought
had no fire
eons during
they were the gods
and outwards into spacelessness
they expelled us
nothing remained of us
of them
in our compound complexity
we and they felt
godly
eons after
a space less nothingness
devoid of all
we and they
existless
nothing floats
eons in eons
God
in Its all knowingness
tested we and they
we and they failed
fell
but
a light shines
and …
WHAT!?
it was the year
it flew
and we stood
agaped
it was our life
it went
and we watched
stunned
it was our country
it burnt
and we gaped
perplexed
it was our soul
it fried
and we metamorphosed
nothingness
