Incandescent Sky

Until now, the skies were only blue or gray. But today, wrathful Cacus set the sky ablaze. Today, the spectral smoke choked ochre sky mirrors exploding wildfires unleashed below. Today the tarnished jaundice sky measures the crumbling Constitutional edifices, the raging roving injustice burning everywhere across the land. Today as thousands are driven from their homes, the pestilence spreads across the land, killing hundreds of thousands. Today the sooted grimy sky reflects the deceitful lawless tyrant, all his crooked crony stagehands, his white nationalist army of tormentors, as their raw sewage floods the rivers and streams of our theories. Today this climate rampage has nothing to do with climate change. We bask instead in the political climate of aberrant delusions. Today this inferno in the sky, this ceiling of hellfire, suffocates our oxygen of dreams. Below, the Constitution provides kindling for the flames ingulfing our democracy, the fuel for our conspiracy wildfire, our rite of passage to the underworld. Published: Dissident Voice 10/18/2020
