Tear The Light From Thine Eyes

And now you bid me

tear the light out of my eyes?

I will not,

I cannot!

For if ignorance indeed be bliss,

Then rather I would wallow forever in despair.

       I shall burn down this vile institution

where hypocrisy reigns,

and awful corruption sits high

upon The Throne of Pretense.

I will rain my new-found light upon this place.

All will topple under rays of frightening truth.        

  Tear the light from my eyes?

I cannot.

I will not.
