Castigation

Behold our blue orb!
Enduring the strokes...
Strokes tingeing her crimson.

The erubescent terrene is
All but exalted
At her sons’ deeds.

Can the maternal eyes
Condone the spectacle of
One kid slaying another?

An arduous choice
She made, to impart
Feral edification.

Gushing seas,
Terrifying tremors,
Erupting craters:
Penalties, the sapphire
Bestows, in vain.
