poem 183

 

Dressed in perfect blue, while framed to a shroud of blackest ink


A perfect sphere, as a dream gliding gentle upon cirumstellar throne


Now her skin raging, raging in fires feasting, mindless consuming all 


I gazed upon this capitalist designed sight, my mind blank of word


Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, once all yours, now stolen 


Nothing left, of the beauty and no lark singing in this shared sky


As my last breath filled with flames, glazed to raging smoked fire


Yesterday, lit by fossil billionaires, in glee to purify skin of human sin  


Ash and dust left with death, still silent scream echoed on stone strata 


And there crime, forever erased, they once again, breathe deeply 


Gone the voices, full of sound and beauty signifying of human accolades


But a cold laugh is heard in space, where billionaires fled, now in wait


Below and still, with all blue consumed, in guise of their gross prophit*


A perfect sphere, they sanctified, gliding gentle upon cirumstellar stone





*Prophit = this is a blend of profit and prophet
