The sky is blue and bright
With dotted clouds around as spectrum
Every where you stand to look
The sky is blue and bright
On the five continents
And the scattered islands on earth
On the highest mountains peak
And the lowest valleys on earth
The sky is blue and bright
The sky is blue and bright
And man has not yet found ways
To price such beauty to restrict access
Like private parks with locked up gates
In Belgrave Square, in London town
Where still the sky is blue and bright
Surrounded by ironic Embassies
Who plot their flags as representatives
And share fobs with the elite in private parks
Where the commoner is kept at bay
The sky is blue and bright
Anywhere on earth you stand to look
Man has not yet found ways and measures
A strategy defined to segregate such privilege
So anywhere on earth you stand the sky is blue
Except on a day like today, when the clouds are grey and blanketing the blue!
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. Here ... in the Netherlands we have a great blue sky right on this moment.
ReplyDeleteI love the emphasis on the sky is blue and bright...indeed it is.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of looking up into the sky.
ReplyDeleteSuch Sadean lightness and brightness !
ReplyDeleteSo true, anywhere you stand, the sky is always blue.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is a good thing they have not figured out how to charge us for looking at the sky. But here in California the sky is bright and blue as long as it is not a smoggy day. Which there are less and less days of smog compared to years ago. We are now lucky to enjoy such a beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing with this weeks Spectrum Theme Thursday. It is much appreciated and hope to see you next week.
God bless.
Yes, it is. Though sometimes we can't see it as such. Yet, it's always good to remember that it is "blue and bright"
