The Universe Out There Knows No Smile Lyrics by Kiran Leonard

Western Culture

2018

It never came
My eyes spent hours
Focused on the open page
But nothing arranged in me
There was no imagery
To save our shrinking sun from death
"It's not enough!"
My patron yelled
"It does not show or inspire
Renege or reach higher!"
I'd given up
Sick of allegories
I conceded my uselessness
In the verse I recite
How he cursed and he trembled
Said, "It teaches us nothing!"
(and he was right)
"How does it bring us closer?"
The dismissal of meaning
Before the freezing pyre
It is a vast sea of blackness
No stories are told
The stars don't wink or fall
Beyond your bedside
And my personal canvas
No vain presumption
To speak for someone
Resolve or deny
It is not enough
To bury conclusions
And embrace unknowing
For those with fixed sights
To whom all else is lies
The conflict of visions
Is a means to an end
The system is greying
Master rallies and wails
Clutching, weeping
I sigh
Credits
