The Creation of Darkness

God created darkness and light
and separated them,
giving us both:
light to work by,
darkness to rest,
darkness to stumble through,
and light to find the paths.

And it was good.

Man, never satisfied,
perfected the dark,
made it a prison,
their prison, forgetting

the light was always there
to be let in.

About this poem

A fable. Sort of.
