Those in clouds
by Eric Grayson

Those in Clouds all start the same way

New pure hearted full of life
Complete innocence
Becoming exposed to a hurting world
Developing opinions
Opinions from pure statements
Statements filled with hatred
Gaining cold feelings
Hatred towards their own kind
Oblivious to truth of reality
Scowling down always being in clouds

Then the others, hiding running away
Away from the cold
Cold of others throwing
Throwing metal to gain amusement
Amusement from biased statements
Statements passed on for generations
Getting hotter by the second
Suddenly you can’t breathe while trapped in a box
Six Million dead
All from those in clouds

Then those under oppression since beginnings
Boats storming ashore
Taken by surprise for nothing
Forced labor from rise through set
Blood baths taken
Taken to gain what was had long ago
Next up segregation
More oppression
Rights still needing to be gained
Only now the paranoia of discrimination is permanent
From whom?
Those in clouds

Then there is them
Those in clay homes
Being slayed daily
Forced and tricked into horror
Forced by those of darkness
Those of darkness are no different than they are
But who would think that accept those in clouds
Those in clouds then drive forth harshest words towards this group

But no matter what the others say
They will never understand
Of course they won't
They live in clouds
