Artificial Fluorescence
I saw the sun burst tears and cry
Waning before the clock struck noon
Shadows sweep the Earth like a dilapidated broom
The moment we lit the skies
Artificially

Happier days, once here now gone
As I watch the moon die with little dread
Shot by the Earth—Blood red
The moment we lit the skies
Artificially

birds fly high as the wind around them dies
Inevitably falling from grace to judgement
Redolent of the seventh plague God placed on Egypt
The moment we lit the skies
Artificially

Like tongues of shackles past, the mountains moan
As the trees dissonantly groan in misery
Each and every one—falling continuously
The moment we lit the skies
Artificially

Aroma of charred flesh consumes as fires swell
Innocence shrills as cities goes up in flames
A species so dominant, themselves they have tamed
The moment we lit the skies
Artificially

Lost in the wilderness, a little girl weeps
Searching for relief as clips melt from her hair
Her mother lay in ash, her father no longer there
The moment we lit the skies
Artificially

Angelic wings soared in hordes from middle hell
Spirits illuminated in a green glow
The outcome of fear where compassion is owed
The moment we lit the skies
Artificially

Quiet is the world as all is sleep
Devistation in green hue shows how history ends
No tale of this event to be wrought by man's hands
The moment we lit the skies
Artificially

Only time knows the nature of Day's break
As night incinerates forever the light
This the moment we tried to set things right
The moment we lit the skies
Artificially
