Let The Sun Shine

Let The Sun Shine 


Light splinters falling among
 Human constructed monstrosity 
Rays battle against human atrocity
Licking space hungrily like eager tongues,
Its radiance and beauty 
Go unsung, 
Its warmth undone,
By a concrete army !

  2. Light vs. humanity. You set this up with a great opening of "Light splinters..." Allows for alternative interpretations. Great poem. I suspect this fight will go on.
