Flushed Shades On Canvas
Blue bells rang at the fields of Flanders and beyond
Orange agency denuded humanity down to the core
Purple Hearts were pinned to hearts full of murder
White phlegm oozed unnerved devilish contagion
Green bile slowly trickled away from soul’s conscience
Yellow sun vanished in a cowardly mushroom cloud
One day after the bomb a Gingko tree blossomed
At the black epicentre of fury’s mission accomplished
The pallet of destruction shadows all pigments of peace
As red poppies continue to seed on bone meal and skulls
