Together, As One
the eclipse was awesome was it not
Every soul gathers and gleams
Crowded together into a serene galaxy of their own
Lovely orange glares back at them from its curve in the sky
Immersing humanity into the depths of its rarity
Perusing the curiosity of the mortal mind
Soliciting our appreciation for the world’s beauty
Everyone together, staring up as one
-
Wasn’t it so sweet seeing everyone come together and watch the eclipse a few days back? Everyone stepped out of their lives and into something greater for a moment and it was so beautiful to see. I heard some absurd thing about companies closely monitoring work progress at the exact time of the eclipse to make sure their workers weren’t taking part in watching it and that just enraged me so much man.
Thanks for reading! ♥️

Look At Us
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by contented hopelessness, the inability to learn or care, bleak smiles and worthless opulence, jeering bullies and leering men, the pernicious malignant anger from the rotten spoiled privileged demon children who moan and groan and cry and hit their mothers and shriek like banshees at the slightest inconvenience, the false advertisement of human emotion, gun barrels and internet battles and hate, hate for what we cannot understand

Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.

It’s a shame that such a cool part of nature can be “managed” by companies:/ Particularly like the contrast here in “Lovely orange glares back” Angela- it reminds me of how the sun can be both life-giving and taking!
I agree! That is a terrible thing for the employers to do! My goodness! The Universe is showing off and we have to watch our screens and not its performance? What a crock. Great poem by the way!
That's very informative you did it very well
Omgggg, there were companies that did that? That's so terrible. Like cut people some slack. Sheeesh! Loved your Acrostic!
