Every Day Fray

From humanities onset, Before consciousness and intelligence met Or our ever-present, fear-ridden fret Of our own self-induced, war-torn threat, Unseen by eyes unobservant, There’s been an eternal cosmic war event. Aloft let eyes stray To the grounds of the bloody fray Between the entities called night and day. In the battle of dawn Day demonstrates its brawn, Thereby banishing night from sight By flooding the sky with its light. In the battle of twilight Night becomes days plight By battling to reclaim its ground, Inevitably winning without an uttered sound. This conflict fought with undying devotion, Devoid of any kind of emotion, It’s not their perpetual damnation But is their purpose: our salvation. From humanities onset, Before our consciousness and intelligence met, It’s been unquestionably evident, Though to eyes unobservant, That life couldn’t survive without this cosmic event.

It’s about how there is a war in the heavens – from my point of view that is –, one of which we need, and it’s been going one before us and before our wars that we are completely unaware of until we look up, and that we should look up. I’m glad you liked it Danesh.

While driving home from work one night the thought came to my head of how night and day are almost fighting a war with each other in the heavens, and that’s what inspired this poem.

Kind of makes me think about how war is being fought with technology. Somehow even war has become detached. This is a powerful piece, I'm glad you introduced yourself.
