Oh Wondrous Sky

Imperialism. Sky indulged with faculties beyond imagination
The brush swaying marvelous colors that speak true integrity
Yet forlorn sky, its colors are hidden by the truth that screeches

Oh hail wondrous sky of truth, speak no lies but proof
Your clouds initiate the true arms of wickedness, awful iniquity--
Paint it black, evermore can the truth be relieved…

Slanderous. The children of our time grasping metal and steel
The children of tomorrow death has become their appeal
I am a young man of the age of six, unable to feel

Deepen the roots of your fertility of mayhem
Since sarcastically there is nothing to lose
Just a father, a mother, a sister, and brother
Don’t forgive the siblings and relatives
Grasp death as if it is one with life
Yet living without love, is death itself but in flesh

Imperialism. Oh so grotesque reality has become
It has become no more with fundamental benefits
And has lost taste of morals and the sight of justice
Runaway pure spirit before poison follows
But where to run? But where to hide…?

Oh pray wondrous sky of truth, speak no lies! But proof!
Your clouds surround the sun, the sky and the moon, awful iniquity—
Paint it blank...nevermore can the truth be relieved
Paint it blank I say, nevermore can the truth be relieved.

Cradle. The sounds of baby stop whining in the darkness
The sounds of sprits moan in repetition as sadness   
We all die someday, without the essence of happiness

Oh hail and pray wondrous sky of truth, speak no lies but proof
That a day will come of reality embarking fantasy and we shall

Forgot reality and wine with fantasy along path of death.

    Goodness me I don't know what to think or say about all that, perhaps you don't either and are working it out in verse? Why the sky as a blackboard for truth? relive, relieve, revile? " Forgot reality and wine with fantasy along path of death." I can't say huh? enough? Is there a lesson here? Light & Love Debbie

    I would say your outlook depends on one's sense of responsibility. My view expands the responsibilty of (so called) reality. Have All put themselves exactly where they are? Your poem is great because it makes one really think about things. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver
