The Sacrifice

For your existence to be possible ten thousand other possible lives had to be blotted out.

For you to be righteous, another has been wicked.

For something to emerge there is a great deal that must submerge.

Behind your so called consciousness, lies your very real subconscious.

What is apparent has grown in the matrix of the hidden.

The motion to rise creates not only the peak but its inverse.

As we extend outward into the broad reaches beyond our horizon, we delve deeper and deeper into the infinite darkness below us.
