Bublyon

the Babylon of bubbles,
where plastic shamans blow illusions of love
to a mixed people of iridescent colors
sandwiched between a soapy film of confusion
Man’s disillusion of building a rainbowed utopia
as they dance and sing in the high places
hiding behind a green tree
Forgetting man shot the first arrow at heaven,
as the pot of gold, at the end of the rainbow,
calls the kettle black accepting everything,
without central rule is the babbling freedom of anarchy
Slaves to their own sins promising liberty
God is a God of order and not the author of confusion
There is only one Way and He does not need the help of man
What is highly esteemed among men is an abomination to God
Man’s attempts to build a utopia
will always, become a bubbling dystopia
bursting, into endless lulu tears
of a seared consensus,
suddenly a rainbow policemen awakes,
somewhere off the grid in Kansas,
with a headache and an empty bottle of snake oil

Thanks and this was a good idea for a contest. I had to do some research and some thinking, for this theme.

Excellent use of familiar idioms (pot of gold, kettle black) and strange imagery. Like it! Congratulations on your win John! :-)
