Child of Light / by Devin Williams

work in the maze

today just yesterday

and hope to fade away

fog that shades your

gaze

factory for for favorite

works

pumpin’ out like

Mona’s smirk

the art we make makes

Earth look curt

just quick

no time

and then return to dirt

death is fear horizon

behind we shake

the lion

Oz where fiction lies

words write

but don’t equate

beauty idiot in

disguise

child of light

where darkness pries and rakes

face the fumes

fight for your lives

feed the flames

burn down high rise

stock that comes out grey

paint just runs

to whoever pays

The Market’s down

and painters lay

in desks too small

their visions

caged

Child of light

let out your rays

Child of light

scorch the maze
