Contest: Coexist 
Prompt : Video based on Lyrics by Bono from U2 : video by Brian Eno & F That.
___________________________

his guitar strings I perceived as mine
heard composition as my core’s rhyme
hair thick as Neptune’s froth
saw it while I boiled broth 
when he returned 
I was aged burned ~

I can’t claim him, though etheric 
organs hold him, when scarcity 
rules, I keep charity —
she took what was pure, my adore
poetry mine he read in furore
though always I bless the Light
my singular delight

all day every day, Light my 
singular might

at sun-awake I flutter lashes
on bed of clay and hay
thank God, ay, for another day
for human ; child and grown
we are His own, known —

all day every day, Light my 
singular might

children run like soldiers 
numb stunned
carrying guns succumbed 
it was fanatical rulers who taught 
difference must be fraught
killing like flies on raisin bun 


paths stretch before us
we know clear signs
dimes they twinkle so 
we can shine —
consciousness expanding 
nature’s wish to embrace 
everyone’s a wonderful ace

all day every day, Light my 
singular might

new poets rise for veracity 
no complicity
golden age on upturn 
old philosophies churn
who separates for personal gain
to drown in own silly game ~

all day every day, Light my 
singular might
I am not afraid 
am a delight


counterpart will remove his mask
see all was just a farce
imposters do not last
fresh tasks on horizon 
One Love is siren

at sun-awake I flutter lashes
on bed of clay and hay
thank God, ay, for another day
for human ; child and grown
we are His own, known —


all day every day, Light my 
singular might
I am not afraid 
am a delight 

old philosophies churn
who separates for personal gain
to drown in own silly game ~
I am not afraid 
am a delight

change the range —-

guitar strings to be tuned anew
no sticky glue when One under Sun
ageless a crystal sequence
Love Light’s consequence

I am not afraid 
am a might
change is delight
