not contending to exert authority

and white but still beautiful (here)

To include the line:
'the skyscraper kissed the sky'
in a play of personification

not contending to exert authority
as a show off among the high and mighty
the skyscraper kissed the sky
belittling others sprouting up high

not unlike the flashy peacock's stance
in colors, regalia decked and fully enhanced
some are thrust with such blessings
not their intention to go with slight teasings

beautiful butterflies symmetrically designed
pinned to the wall amidst soundless whines
did not ask to be unceremoniously displayed
crying out loud shying away left to their fate
