We must | Charles Bukowski, 1920-94

.
we must bring
our own light
to the darkness.
nobody is going
to do it
for us.

as the young boys
ski
down the slopes
as the fry cook
gets his last
paycheck
as dog chases
dog
as the chessmaster
loses more than
the game

we must bring
our own light
to the darkness.
nobody is going
to do it for us,

as the lonely
telephone
anybody
anywhere
as the great beast
trembles
in nightmare
as the final season
leaps into
focus

nobody is going
to do it
for us.
