Revelation 4
So did it come to pass that light forgot light
And drifted around the frontiers of sight
With a bemused look on its face
As if to say why was I made this way
if this contrasts some holy intention?
And why keep it just in range
With promises to behave?
Why not simply discard and erase and start again?
Confusion can be so much worse than pain
It's the cruellest of all divine inventions
And in a dream a prophet said to me
"Hell is revelation, heaven is ignorance"
So inevitably it set its own goals
And it focused on those
It lined the roads with lights and wires and fireworks
And whatever it could to disguise the great problem
With hundreds of lesser ones
And then it whiled away its time
Out on the precipice of life
Like a dot looking only to it sides and filling up its mind
With the fashions of the moment and this restlessness
That no one could quite put their finger on
And in a dream a prophet said to me
"Hell is revelation, heaven is ignorance"
