The Naked Cruise

©2019, Olan L. Smith

Fear, rip through our domains like a ball of liquid sun

Yet, we cannot hide when inside is out; our turtle shells

Won't protect us in this crazy world of not; icebergs are

Melting, beaches are disappearing in a sea of tangled

Plastic...a ship finds hard passage. "Toward the port side,

Passengers, you will see an endless sea of trash, enjoy,

It will be with you for the rest of the cruise." The Naked

King declares night is day, red is green and his followers

Kneel on bend-ed knee, "Oh, great is the King of Nakedness,

Even his unwise wisdom it supreme, Oh hail, the Naked King!"

Our world bleeds green as she is raped by greed, until every

Tree is felled, and when barren as Mars it will rust red, temps

Will rise until the oceans boil away, and Earth is a red rock

Third from the sun. So, go ahead, caretakers of earth, hide

Your necks in the shells god has provided, and witness your

World disappears under the leadership of naked-lies revealed.
