I’ve pulled down the sky;
there never are vows
forever to be unbroken
when blue mixes with brown
and alienates humanity
from celestial space.

Oh, see, see, naive entities
huddled in grandiose schemes
of love, light, eternal life,
but twiddle the thumbs
there is no crumb
of unquestionable evidence.

So dastardly deeds beget your deeds
and lovers beget new loves;
salvation of mind no longer applies
when sky is lying on ground.

Paddle, paddle, we paddle canoes
each one in this marshy swamp
because I am the woman, you the man,
and there never is proof of soul.

But reject the soul, beget regret
and “bless you, my son, you sinned”
a fable of pure convenience
to appease the paddlers, you see?

Hi, Honey!

Fascinating, metaphorical writing! ~ and as always, merits a read or two!

Lovin' hug,

Again some great food for thought.

When we look deep into our eyes or someone else's eyes, we can't but welcome the soul.

Your piece made me think of Eric's "Original sin". Here is the link (I am sure Eric doesn't mind me posting it):
