Counterfeit kingdoms

 


You are a sight,

sore eyes look down aghast,

because your light

is so powerfully cast.

You shine like a neutron star,

in a cosmos of burnt-out cars,

the estate that our planet navigates,

to show us the galactic fates

if we neglect to heal our scars.

The curses come, words of humans

tearing down

their own counterfeit kingdoms,

because they are so absorbed in

who they are to become,

that they don't see

the beauty in everyone.

 

You are a delight on

hot teasing nights,

like daylight savings time

severed those drawn out

winter cold fronts,

leaving only warmth behind.

If only we could all see in kind.

The pressures outside

start to oppose,

clashing in thunderous compositions

across the vast green meadows

where feet have danced freely

for centuries.

The storm comes eventually,

a downpour of cleansing rain

to drain the hurt away,

to start the story again.

 

You are might,

the power you hold inside.

Words stronger

than any weapon in a fight.

You are we,

we see you in the statuesque trees.

Beauty to bring us to our knees.

As the seas start to boil dry,

innocent eyes cry,

rolling tears mixed with a sigh,

How did we ever get to this?

Our questions float high.

When did we see difference

and think enemy?

When did we see difference

and think the only option is violence?

When will these voices be silenced?

Can we take the two ends

make them rebind

and rebuild the world in kind?
