1. The night sky is dead with acceptance
2. It has collided with Pluto in an existential crisis
3. Scents of night and the bitter cold still haunt
But it can`t be argued the lack of stars in the sky
Nor the silent hush of sadness
4. The night tastes like the end of all we have known
5. Not even prophets could predict the Moon`s disdain.
6. Sadness bellows from the corners of the universe
7. The stars aren`t rolling and the world is standing still
8. Maybe it was the passive action and the ignorance
9. Maybe if the world stares and watches, the night will return
10. “Come back to me,” an old preacher whispers, calling the night sky to him
11. The metaphoric disciples of sound
12. Rotating backwards to find themselves
13. Maybe hope will bring the world back to wholeness
14. We can no longer see the reasons or the causes
15. We will recover, we will stand straight again
16. The permanent night cannot remain or recover
17. None shall pass the existentialistic ideologies!
18. Parce-que tu m'assassine
19. And the Sun, despite the wreckage, is calling through the darkness
20. Great prophets and professors never saw this coming.

There are so many lines in this that I like, it's hard topick a favourite - maybe 'Parce-que tu m'assassine' or maybe 'The stars aren`t rolling and the world is standing still'.
I like what you have done with the prompts, the poem is cohesive and startling. Thank you for this entry.
