The Uncovered

THE UNCOVERED ....


Blunders draped in bundles
of clandestine regalia
Passing each aurora, simmers
obnoxious guilty flames
Seized are its weapons
Silenced is its voice
Water-tight , to the exterior,
Access denied....
Conscience asphyxiated
Stupor it lay , simmering flame
deep inside......
The glittery outside
Embezzlement fills treasures
Tactfully guzzles glorious peace
Marbles conceal the blood
Glitter tantalizing the inner peace
Constellation of cromulent folk!
Tantamount to a golden knife
Sagacious choices  crushed,
pulverised under heels 
Brushes of pseudo smiles paint
the phoney pictures!
Remorse has gone to retreat
Armageddon struck...
Raging guilt, rising conscience
War they wage as they dare a battle
Before they fall and fade
Muster all might, they burn
Cellars melt to molten
Huge uproar and war cry
Burning splinters!
Cinders  remain .....,
as unmasked truth!

I like this Anu. It suggests to me a rebellion against the Emperors New Clothes. Clinically presented ideas of truth but false images all the same and in the end the cinders reveal the actual truth but too late to do any good. Truth seers are left in the cold as lonely voices. Hope I haven't got t wrong. Kind regards, Ian

Quick eperors new clothes. Tailors convinced him to pay a fortune for the latest invisible cloth. They made an imaginary suit of clothes from it but because they were considered the height of cool anybody who couldn't see the clothes was branded as stupid. The emperor paraded publicly until a young boy shouted He's naked and the cat was out of the bag. Reality

Dear Ian, first let me thank you for stopping to read my poem:-) I am unaware of Emperor's new clothes....but you have understood the message too well whatever I wanted to convey...how guilt and our conscience keeper(inner voice) finally succeed in sabotage for all the good! Love, Anu:-)
