Colour VibrationA Poem by aurora kastaniasOn post-modern humanity
Evolving human
Surrounded by colours, Gentle grins provoking last Enduring glances of suspicion, ‘What have they to smile?’ Unfamiliar green-carpet Streets and glowing faces, Sounds of unusual happiness Inundating land, echoing In the calm unsuffering seas. Dark elegant suits knit With gold and silver threads, In disuse. Lost briefcases enshrining Carbon-stained paper sheets, Unowned, unwanted, and unneeded. Trees no longer afraid. May the souls of their ancestors Rest in peace. Memory does persist. Sober fancy ties around Chocking blue necks, Thrown away. White collars freeing from chains. Unleashed, What was, forgotten. Forging truth in history No one teaches, Lies of imaginative deceptive minds No one learns. Red once-fashionable high heels Buried with garbage, along with Addictive games and batteries Creating manmade hills, Offered to nature as Trojan horses Waiting to astonish. While flowers bloom And wilderness takes over, Evolving human wonders ‘Where have I been until this moment?’ And smiles. © 2017 aurora kastanias |
