Emptiness.

Shallow, hollow,
Yet in the narrow.
Time to waste?
Or time to borrow?

I know.
I don't know.
What's to follow?

Best innocent, happy,
Than see the gallow.

Shallow, hollow,
Yet in the narrow.
Alive, yet dead,
Head in the gallow.

A jump, a swing?
Would life, it bring?
Lose life to find,
Answer, oh, King!

Gray and gray,
Not black or white.
The contrast fills
No room for light.

The truth?
Its grey.
Not black or white;
See the cruelty;
See the sight.

Grey, oh, gallow?
For head or life?
For body or soul?
For death or life?

Answer, oh, King.
Question and plea!
Tell me, tell me,
What do You see?

Can You please
Reveal, reveal,
Show me?
