Disconnection
3 October 2021

Candlelit colours feed beauty, purity, and romance,
…borne unseen from hard existences, known now as adventure,
from crimson seas, lives taken not given.

Crude liquids feed industry, art, and life;
…borne unseen from the depths, other forms hard to comprehend,
exhausting lives not inexhaustible.

False horizons of destruction, encourage complacency;
Faiths moved now to non-religions, yet equally ignorant as before,
unseeing of injustice, and unseeing of the ensuing pain they cause.
