they say it is better to light one candle,
than to curse the darkness.
what darkness? what light?
must such things be candid battles?
the littlest of things, in themselves,
know that words are only worth the measure
that people take into consideration.
alas, the crypt of absent festers
is now open for the whole world to see--
at the blink of an eye, the thin sheets of lye
disappear in the sweet sense of the sun.
