Why Amber are you hung?

Still as a bird, neck wrung.

No air ever sweetly is sung,

Out from a breathless lung.

Who Amber do you hunt?

Still as the herd, chases age.

No kill ever is un-blunt,

Even for a pounded sage.
 

What Amber do you seek?

Still as our star, fledges beams.

No power ever is meek,

In tearing our world at the seams.
 

Why Amber do you fly?

Still upon high, airily superior.

No love ever mothered can die,

Or cratered by hate grow inferior.

 

When Amber will you desist?

Propaganda strangling, innocent sheaves.

Untwist every bruised abused wrist,

To go free among green springtime leaves.

 


 

Why Amber do you drape?

Stop rosily feigning, caring visages.

Into our flesh life’s same thorns scrape,

All along our lowly lonely voyages.
