WE WERE NEVER IN THE KNOW

 

our souls were once in its purest form 

our hearts clean and shinning without bump

our skin radiant like the sun 

we live with no burn

with wings we explore the spheres 

flying weightless with no one to dare 

we illuminate everywhere with our tiny lights 

our glittering was created perfectly bright 

if we had known

we would have said no 

we wouldn’t have come to earth 

living in bondage, slaves to death 

we wouldn’t have chosen skin as an option 

taking our eyes away from the temptation of the ocean 

wouldn’t have signed up to be born 

only to live for a while and mourn 

we were never in the know that this was how it was going to be 

only if we have looked before we leap 

that humanity is a curse to existence 

a regret of creation by his eminence
