Literature Text

This is the colour on the other side of light
Somewhere between purple and infinity
It's dark light, can't-see-with-it light
This is what they use for mysteries
Luminescent, not-there light
Only visible by the glowing
Of ghost-white sheets

It tells you when something isn't true,
For killing disease, turning you into gold
This intangible light whispers things
Secrets about the Universe, and atoms
It's the blood-light, the hunter's friend
It can make softness hard, invisible ink

It burns, divides, heals, protects
This ultraviolet light
I feel some science is owed to the reader. UV is used in sunbeds, hence the turning to gold bit. It's used to kill off diseases in food and on objects, it's used to detect blood and in scientific research about space.

You probably already knew all that.
