Outstretched....a vast ungainly sight
Whoever could imagine a sea of white?
The common lad gazing afar
Searching for an iota of that blue essar.
Sordid faces and inquisitive peepers
Come to see and stare in awe
At the blatant and astounding flaw.
Every intellect's eye- flew towards the sky;
But for the seabirds' cry ; found nothing awry.
Thus perplexed, the world went mad
over the event, that nature had planned
For sure, man would find a reason -
unable to accept the bold treason :
what his eyes told him, his mind forbade
his life took over, the realization veiled.
Lies now abandoned, unworthy of a glance
Foreign to the earth's other occupants
Dissolved in misery, suffering its plight
Relegated to oblivion : the sea of white.
