Emptiness Beneath the Great Emptiness - Dawn Ray'd

All the wanting in the world

Won’t bring your god to life

Your weightless words are swept away

And I don’t think anyone noticed

I used to hope you’d just be extraneous

But now I don’t even hope

Everything you’ve ever said

Every hatred, every sleight of hand

Sees you fade out to irrelevance

So I guess thank God for that

We could happily burn the lot

As a promise

For every childhood destroyed

Every woman shamed

Let the fires burn as a signal

Let the fires burn as a signal

Let the fires burn as a signal that

Our community won’t fail to protect them again

All this destruction will be avenged

You have delighted in harsh decisions

But it was really never a risk

Because you would never feel

The consequences!

I’m sick of the same white male excuses

For those gross white male abusers

Every hatred, every sleight of hand

Sees you fade out to irrelevance

So I guess thank God for that
