Blackness by Kevin Ascott, 2001 Blackness. Darkness. Desolated Void. Emotions played with. Happiness destroyed. Lushful plenty suffering drought Questions unanswered. Conscience in doubt. Sadness. Unhappiness. Painful tears Uneasiness living with fatal fears Thoughts of evil crossing the mind A glimmer of hope impossible to find Caught in the open. Death is not in disguise When one person is lost, the world slowly dies The help one can get is never too far A call on the phone. A trip in the car. Such sadness is witness when that one died A horrible evil: death by suicide.
