19. In the eyes of the Saviours

In the eyes of the Saviour Christ,
The world was an ignorance-night.

In the eyes of the Saviour Krishna,
The world was an ignorance-sea.

In the eyes of the Saviour Buddha,
The world was an ignorance-sky.

    O ignorance-night,
    Your futility hurts me.

    O ignorance-sea,
    Your insensibility hurts me.

    O ignorance-sky,
    Your indifference hurts me.
