Evil from Evil by Julian Cubillos

i can't deny
amorphous time
the ability to provide
an unavoidable rise

you take what you can,
the rest is implied
beside myself in light
i can't be pacified

how feels the light?
more or less right?
and hearts a-beating eye
the death of better times

what was the crime
i committed this time?
in tort, another mile
i break just like a child

i won the prize,
so saith i
it's good to be alive!

--
and as i stood there, atop the crescent bluff
powdered, bleary — but with the fullest heart
a thousand ships and a thousand more
traced the periphery of my view
and what i saw was ocean:
golden, glassy, and never-before-so-opalescent ocean
"well, maybe now they'll believe me!"
--

come along with me
come along with me
come along with me
the mystery of life indeed
is that it is free
and what's inside will more than provide
what it is you need

this world can't stop us now!
all the evil in this world can't stop us now.
