Unchanged

by J. P. Davies

The stringy mass of half-knotted hair,
slides sideways across the horizon.
Concealing the eyes of savages,
who yearn for enlightenment.

And as the sun rises all are struck blind;
and they raise a cheer to mercy
that their last vision
was a red sun rising
and a world unchanged.

Merely a suggestion Jordan, but you might like to change that last word to something more profound like aspiring. Otherwise, great poem. One of my recent favorites of yours.
