Skyscaper storefront
beats the clouds periwinkle
corporate needles rain
pour pastel plant paints
across gloss colored canvas
brighten darkened doors
bring the bright nights back
don’t let darkness deal us out
color fills our fold
the pagan world gone
these new age holy days feast
on their old world corpse
when blue flames play games
weaving through neuropathways
brain can trick the soul
the spiritual calls
spirituality falls
icons prey upon
can you find your way
if you allow others to
say which god to pray
you did it again
you are thunder and lightning
answering the call
we raindance in awe
raw power crashes the sky
inspiration calls
atop your tower
you fine dine on the skyline
your water shall fall
spill over the edge
trickle down to the streets below
fuel the fire
the smoldering steam
shall someday scorch your vision
blinded by the truth
growing up batman
was always my hero but
the joker felt real
one weaponized white
privilege the other became
the system’s victim
who has more hot air
from above as so below
kneel before their show
look up ye shall rise
look down on those below you
now you are divine
beyond this narrow
nature views how humans skew
the lessons she gives
it doesn’t exist
yet they persist to insist
this the only way
sunrise door beckons
find your way to a new day
please just step on in
white privilege door slams
opportunity knocks not
remember your place
sunset door still looms
what rooms may wait we wonder
weaknesses abound
foundations falter
door frames fail under pressure
this house will come down
