Petrol fumes
and red balloons
wicked words set to loony tunes
hollow smiles
on pensive lips
behind the eyes the timebomb ticks

and soon

column after column advance
&
revelling masses
continue to dance

listening to speeches
praying with preachers
the words they chant bleach us
but who will be teachers?

we know it's whoever is left

and the white followed us all

BonFireLight~
I stopped by to welcome you to Passions~

Though I'm not sure I understand the intend of your piece, I enjoyed the marching cadence of your thoughts~
