NEVER LOOK UP
By Alexis Pena Goco
Far, far away, the horizon
moved to the shore,
and swallowed the sky above it,
and moved across the land
until the people, were
blinded from the truth.
Prolific heroes challenged
the horizon where it meets the shore,
magnificent castles were risen
contouring its' features,
historical, histories liaisoned
in controversy within
it's apathetic environment,
modern living established
a society in it's
catalytic atmosphere,
this embellishment defined
a human race.
'Twas only shelter, that never
carried any intention
beyond itself,
a horizon, and a shore,
that swallows the sky
