Shade of Purple in the Sky

Society, disolving

Purple haze in the night that

Replaced the open skies,

Closed our view to see the stars

Is it because society changed

Rules of pollution,

Or the trailing wings of airplanes

Casting sinister in the air

Or could it be

That society,

Has forgotton

Humanity?

We run to and there,

Whirling with the commands

Self absorbed,

To be the best on on the block

Can it be that our children forgot,

Because they never learned

That the sky is suppose to be blue,

During the night there are clouds, white, black or inbetween

They'll never see the real sky

If we don't wake up the cover up,

of Television melting the brain,

While a good book can change everything

Purple haze has hit the moon,

Bounced off and took venus too,

So if you want to see what's up above,

All you'll see is just a haze... society in social crumble

Author's Note

Watching our world in social crumble.

Maybe im just showing my age here but i don't get where our younger generation is heading. We tear apart the earth to get to its precious secrets, we pollute our air and water with total disregard to mother earth. Until the day will come when man says " what have we done ?" Unable to reverse the damage done. I hope that i never live to see the day when men say " we can't see the forest for no trees." I think that its important that pieces like this continue to stir the minds into awareness of our actions. Good stuff!

This is a majestic and heroic piece, Mi'Lady, like your previous works, which I also loved. Thank you for writing it.
And you never know; maybe... just maybe, it will strike a chord or two out there, with those who have some influence in changing things for the better. We never know who might be reading our work.

Society today is at a crossroad- we either collectively save it or let it go down the path of destruction -many are blind or deaf to the crumbling around us -it's poems and words such as this that is a clarion call that wakes up those who are still asleep- let's turn purple to blue again- enjoyed this piece- well written and expressed


my warmest

Unique. This is a rare poem- very unlike others. I enjoyed it.

[Robert Luna]

The whole poem is strong and passionate, you have some really wonderful lines, but the last stanza brings it al together. Solid piece. I like the tone of it. Controlled defiance is a tough place to stand, but you did it well. The message is simple and straight forward and its not one that many people listen to.



Great Job!!!!!!

I love the wise passion in your voice... Nicely written. Great use of the sky, above all..

[bluessadmood]

what lovely write about poor earth,about poor us,we made her lose everything
the lovely nights the night sky..lovers used to ponder long at that beauty
so black so blue ..white at from clouds at times..lighted by the lovely stars
now all that we can not see but red hues and different colors ..brought by smokes from everywhere
different hues ..no, the children will never see the real sky and stars above
anyway they are entangled looking at something very different
the joys of modern life..that will only disturb their young innocent minds
while we are taken with the rat race of modern days,we forgot that once we were humans
every step in life we used to ponder at long ..and sing of it as one step in the long journey of life
but no more ,everything is done in haste..like on the run all the time,like its a mission we have to end
and just after say goodbye..
lovely write

You definitely have a gift for writing poems about social issues that we all should care about. I think my pet peeve are those who believe that certain environmental issues are more about politics and what political party you belong to rather than the earth. I see some minor little things that need correcting, but it's a testament to your writing ability that these don't take away from your message.

I love this poem.
Me being young (13), I somewhat feel offended.
I'm one of the people that is trying to help save the world from the downward spiral of which it is in.
If people would only recycle, conserve water, plant trees, things like that......
we could stop the destruction of the earth.

(sorry, kinda went into ramble mode)
