In a village of humanity
where the children all grow old
double-sided rainbows
weren’t expected every day
but suddenly in awe
the inhabitants looked up
and radiated energy
pulled the sky down to ground.

Blanketed in blue
and shades of other hues
the energy confined
boiled over into crime
and the mothers, fathers, children,
as one became unglued
from a value system
and the merit of kinship.

Up and out they struggled
one by one alone to find
the earth no longer stable
had become a rolling ball
from which they fell and tumbled
into a foreign mode.

In adjusting to the temperature
and the intensity of change
love became as water
free flowing down a drain
and collecting in pools
beneath the earth’s crust.

There it bubbled, boiled,
and today it bubbles, boils,
denied full release
into the atmosphere
but through the hues of sky and me
it erupts occasionally
and sends boulders, pebbles, rocks,
flying everywhere.

Catch them … but they can’t
for love and foreign modes
are and will remain
incompatible!

Thanks GS but I hope the punch misses those who don't deserve it.
