the CYBORG - Human of the future

Afraid of the Dark

 

"I'm afraid of the dark," he said,

but what he meant, I couldn't grasp.

 

I'm afraid of the light instead.

 

What more could terrify me than a future I have to face,

a gleaming torrent of certainty,

a resounding push forward,

but the dark?

 

The dark is my putty; a shadowy liquid,

a fickleness that prays on hope and fear,

and with it holds an escape.

 

He fears the dark because it can deceive him.

I fear the light because it is the truth.
