A happily miserable land

Purple bruises, purple roses.

Shortened trees and flared noses.

Up and down, and down and up,

Rattle snakes in a pink tea cup.

Crowded roads and crowded minds,

Running water in iron binds.

Mountains of cream, empires of dust.

Empty towers engraved in rust.

Sandy seashores, jelly fish men,

Mindless ducks clucking after a hen.

Caramelised sugar, burnt to a crisp.

A breeze that carries the smell awhisp.

And laugh and scream and cheer,

oblivious, happy, no primitive fears.

Explanation/Interpretation:

purple bruises.... Is the beauty and pain in colour.

Shortened trees.... Is the dismissal of nature.

Flared noses... Is anger and regret.

Up and down...Is disorder.

Rattle snakes....Is the concealment of deadly nature, using a pretty, seemingly harmless exterior.

Running water in iron binds... Is the entrapment of something that can't be contained.

Mountains of cream.... Is greatness built on air.

Empires of dust....Is the regret over the greatness that used to be, which is now dust.

Sandy seashores, and jellyfish men...Is the encouragement of cowardice.

Mindless ducks... ducks don't cluck they quack, which symbolises the imitation of something inferior to gain acceptance.

Caramelised sugar....Is overdoing something good, until its ruined.The consequences of extremities.

A breeze... That's the people that carry on like nothing has happened, bearing the smells or signs of burnt sugar.( loss and despair)

And laugh and scream...Because they don't know what to do with themselves.

Oblivious,happy....Is joy in ignorance, the primitive fear is the fear of the unknown.
