Flying above the clouds
You see the red emanate from the ground
Gradually softening the further from Earth it goes
Hues cooling, psychologically soothing
Calming blues up to space
I'd say heaven but I'm a non-believer
Don't believe in a dream too radical
It seems to me to be
Irrelevant anyhow
This is about mankind
All the evils
Too easy to find
Atrocious acts
Matter of fact it's
Animalistic tendencies
Tribalistic dependencies
No matter how large
Vast
Or long to last they may be
It's too simple to see
Civilisation's paradoxes
Elites hunt their foxes
Which are naught but a metaphor here
Innocent lives
Fill the skies
With their fear
But nobody hears
Nobody worth a damn anyhow
It's just me now
37 thousand feet above
And leaving.
