The Night Civilization Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

The night civilization not
The outer shard
Though
Beautiful be the outer shard
Beautiful
Beautiful

Yet
More beautiful
Be
The
Inner
Shard
Of the Sub-conscious.

The whirling wheel that works
Around
Around
And rolls on the brain
In the night dreams
In the night joys
In the night horrors
Thoughts, imageries and
Tapestries of thoughts,
Verse, discoveries:
Whirling
Whirling
A new civilization
Spirits
Marching withy flambeaux and
Torches
To celebrate
The glory of the new
Civilization
The Night Civilization.
Then rose high as on a
Pyramid
The Night Civilization in a hood
And
It spoke
‘Go now, the night be done
The Dawn will soon bring
Conscious and woe with it:
Go, go now, but remember
In the night dreams
In the night joys
In the night horrors
Thoughts, imageries and
Tapestries of thoughts,
Verse, discoveries:
Go, go now, humans.’
