Tag: fluorescent lights

the pallid grey glow

makes everyone look sickly

rickety

empty and unnatural

i feel peevish

when it shines on me

and turns my mood irascible

un-affable

as i walk down the streets

whether here

or whether there

i can see its ugly pallor

be a glow too many share

its glare from within

what a sin

to shine upon so many

to light

but then oppress

an artificial beacon

beaming down on all inside

i’d rather hide

within the darkness

most sincere

naught but real

than to feel the ugly glow

fluorescent light

upon my brain

upon my skin

sadness surely made this light

illuminating

grim

luminous

efficient

yet poison for the soul

for the whole

for one’s peace of mind

i long to see fluorescent lights

forever dim

and let the world

glow warm again
