Colorful Reality

  

While travelling along a licorice road,

I found myself floating in a butterscotch

ripple sundae,

with oreo cookies

on the side.

It was a magical journey

filled with gooey caramel,

marsh mellows,

almonds,

and a spoonful

of chocolate sprinkles.

All that was missing

was a full blueberry moon

rolling across a country field

filled with wild red,

purple

and yellow zephyrs.

As these colors blew,

and thunder roared,

I found myself staring

at the limp Afghani girl,

draped over her father’s arms;

one of the many victims of a

red, white, blue bomb,

dropped silently from

a whispering drone.

 

Closing my eyes,

I downed another whiskey neat.
