Notes About The Poem

Onslaught

The crowbar rattled at the clattering noise, In the yard, against the hulls and hoys, A Cloud of tar smoke rose through the green, Large oil slicks floating on the lake sheen. Inconsistent hills throughout the landscape, The sunlight was a deep purple color shape, Similar to the finishes of Florentine bronze, That's it for the day, no real swans. Overwhelming sadness now needs our song, From death, an awful lot of sadness sprung, What type of tears? What heart's grief arrest, What sighs on sighs lobs the mom's breast? With faint homes to brilliant ethereal light, The enchanted guiltless has taken flight, On the liberal bosom of undying love, We find a concealed elevation above. Warden, I realize you both mourn her loss, She no longer feels the hold of pain across, The regulations of elegance are without bias, You can turn your pain into grace and praise. The dread of the interminable assault, The arrival of gizmos has long been sought, All these notions had a major effect on history, Each was a frightening age-related mystery. The attack on slavery was nonsense, Designed to hide the ambitions for pretense, Never before has a tiny beast attacked so hard, It just bites its horns and hides with its tiny shard. Thoughts on webcasts, phone calls, Facebook, Rising vitality contains attacks and an ebook, Both were made by teenagers in their twenties Bounty drives and precious realities. Do not shed tears in the flowing river, No real pain in the dark pits to deliver, The first light was magnificently bright, It was soon covered by the haze of the night. This eliminates spontaneity, love, and anxiety, It steals time and hides physical and moral piety, Concept, politics, creation, and profit come first, A blitzing slave was a lie to hide the curst.
