Pink Cloud in the Sky

Eugene S.

The sun is shining on this Pink Floyd morning
Another brick in the wall of time
The moon is left screaming outside the Earth's scorching veil
Walls, barriers, veils, how long can they hold
Before the heat burns through
Before mankind wails for mercy, for kindness
Ordinary men against a diamond in a sky of sorrow
Caught between stark realities and eternal hope
News anchors in the background, speaking
Who now only tell lies
How I long for the chorus of a world sublime
Of a difference
Removed from the clutches of our wretched times

        Eugene, your poem really struck a chord with me. The way you blend Pink Floyd references with reflections on our world today is incredibly powerful. The imagery of walls and veils, and the longing for a better, more honest world, is something I deeply relate to. Thank you for sharing such a moving piece.

          Thank you so much for reading and feeling the sentiment I was trying to convey.
