Strangest World

by fdgsr


STRANGEST WORLD

The day is blue and night is green,
the strangest world I've ever seen
where up is down and something round;
purple is the sweetest sound.

To eat the air is debonair,
to walk on hair is something fair.
Truth is so strange but goes too far,
always making jests bizarre.

To fight the trend I would defend
below the beauty that I send --
all things I should not mention
are outside God's intention.

I make no jest of nature's best
eschew the beasts and all the rest
build up the shore and long before
erosion takes its toll.

Remove the doubt and wash it out,
but loudly sigh and softly shout;
start every day that has begun
before the colors start to run.

I wanted to hint at the non-sense we believe as well as the sensible that we cannot believe. Most of the imagery must be developed from the latent hints in the text. The image Strange Night by belgrano illustrates this so well though I had written the piece before finding the illustration.
