The sun sets
And brings darkness.
Humans hate the dark.
So they created;
They created
Fire
And buzzing lights
And cities that never sleep.
Vegas never sleeps;
Its lights never go out.
It is never left in the dark.
So they flock
Because they become moths;
They forget.
Forget what the city represents.
The dangers it holds at night.
They see the dark
And run to the light.
The sun rises
And brings light.
Humans hate the light.
So they protected;
They protected
The land
And the mountains
And the dark that lets them rest.
The Desert sleeps;
Its light always goes out.
It is left in the dark.
So they scurry
Because they become rats;
They remember.
Remember what the Desert represents.
The comfort it holds.
They see the light,
And run to the dark.
Because that is nature.
Nothing is the same.
Nothing is symmetrical.
We may be similar,
We may be human.
But no one is the same.
Some fear the dark
And what hides in the night,
Some fear the light
And what hides in plain sight.
But everyone,
No matter what they fear,
Everyone
Knows how to run.
