IT

2 0 0
                                    

Back bends under it
Noses bleed by it
Eyes swell

Look out a window for it
Open a door for it
In every crack it lies

Children cry
Parents die
For it

Bones turn to dust because of it
History repeats for it
What, praythee, is IT?

It is you
It is me
It is what we perceive
