Vantablack - Vonnegut

Each of us is a precipice

With a slumbering dark

Swarming demons dwelling deep

Waiting just for a spark

For a man to be a man

With the beast on a leash

Give us law, lock us up in rules

Give us roles to play

A blind spot is what it craves, for it never sleeps

Sloppy gods, a broken code, power uncontrolled

Twilight of the soul closing in on me

At the gates I stand to my vantaback

No machine will calculate any thought that is black

Seers cannot prophesize when a heart bears a crack

Each of us is a paradox with a chaos inside

Bearing masks of sanity with a predator’s snarl

Always at war, always at war, man fights beast

Longing for more, raging inside, begs for release

Stigmatized, this must b brutal you, brutal me

Power blinds, we’r slaves of violence

Power blinds, we’re slaves of force

Reason binds whatever’s sinister

Reason binds whatever’s raw
