Forgotten Lessons

It's not our fault
that we don't
understand.

It's the forgotten
side of the world
that did it.

How could we
see what was
to be in this

world when
we didn't know
what came before?

So we searched
and searched
and searched,

and we found
and found
and found.

We discovered
the path on
our own accord.

Tell me, where
were you
at midnight,

when the world,
all clocks,
shut down

forever?
