We Fought for Seville-Orange
By Crush_With_Eyeliner
That wonderous
mackerel sky
hands down
beepers
and
cellular cancer phones
to the smiling
faces of a piffling
twenty-first century
youth.
If these are the times, baby,
I'm going to Normandy.
I hear the beaches are
fabulous.

the lackadaisical nature of 'humans' todae; how they bear witness to naught but themselves, take in nothing intrinsic, and neglect the touch that lasts...in a fight for the mundane...and the irony in the closing couplet.......going where the dead are strewn beneath memory and feet.....and at least there, one could sense some truth......will be a timeless harsh sur.reality. my own meager interpretation. kick arse write.

So awesome man.. Love the texture and color of the sky.. Like aluminum ..metal like the things we use ..the sun.. Now we enjoy the advancements of technology,. We can be in a microwave oven and be oblivious .. Cancer phones .. Most people have annual to life contracts with those..much like cancer sticks.. Well expressed.. It was funny how it all played out ..the ending close it all up well.. A natural beach next to the burning minds under unnatural skies.?
