beat me with the light
by dougie coaloil
if you think that you can govern
all the thoughts that come your way
think again and then decipher
in the clearer light of day
what exactly makes you certain
that your reason will suffice
to predict the final ending
of this earth’s diurnal round
of what happens to the body
and the mind at close of day
and day here simply means your life’s end
and the end of breathing’s reign
will it all be darkly over
will the sun no longer shine
will the light we’re daily used to
suddenly refuse to climb
will tom sawyer and poor christian
cease to suffer swamp and cave
will old lewis and mcdonald
finally find peace in the grave
will all of norman’s many hopes and yearnings
sink ignoble into dust
will the source of man's arrival
peter out then cease to thrust
and will that time bring oh the end to
mankind’s cry in god we trust
so please help me understand this
beat me senseless with the light
