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 18th January 2020
