Nylon Blue

Nylon blue, nylon blue cloth dangles on the line,
Ordinary people dine over wine and droop over the line to the tine 

Nylon blue, nylon blue there sings the children,
Their song and hope riven and driven down the glen 
Nylon blue, nylon blue their friends cry in torture,
Their prefecture nature can’t nurture their future

Nylon blue, nylon blue the old wonder how can’t they,
Without the sun tumble dry their grey hey

Nylon blue, nylon blue is there hope for the people?
The people that grapple with a supple struggle

Like nylon blue cloth hanged to dry but not crushed
Blown by the wind but not dashed   
Like nylon blue cloth shining in utter despair 
The ordinary people’s hope repair
Like nylon blue cloth dangling in full of colour
The children’s future in splendour

Your poem is filled with imagination, wit, and audacity, amalgamated into wandering thoughts that jump and flutter from one idea to another with the ease and freedom of a poet, opening new doors to contemplation. Emile.
