Light shone all around them but they did not see it.
They had eyes but they remained closed.
No one analyzed their dreams.
No one even knew if he they had any.
Like
Oedipus they walked in a world of darkness.
They existed in a land of unknowing.
They built war machines.
They built war machines.
In air
conditioned rooms, they piloted drones
by touch and dropped bombs
by touch and dropped bombs
on
innocent women and children.
Whirlwinds of dust blew all around them.
Radioactive clouds darkened the sky.
Ultimately, they considered themselves blessed
by their blindness.
When the end came, no one cried,
Ultimately, they considered themselves blessed
by their blindness.
When the end came, no one cried,
no one
was left to tell their story.
Light shone all around them but they did not see it.
They had eyes but they remained closed.
