If there’s one thing we all try to avoid
And thinking is an obstacle to this
It is the contemplation of the void
More than the deadly dark and deep abyss
More than our partner’s final Judas kiss
More than the fires of hell Jesus will roam
Dante and Virgil’s literary bliss
Obliteration? More like cosy home
Seen Naples with Vesuvius’ vanished cone
Impervious to new life, life destroyed
Do we mourn our ancestors in the seas
Pre-Cambrian invertebrates in foam
Bubbling on grassless shores? Are they annoyed?
I doubt it, because ignorance is bliss
