Into madness

As we glance at one another, peering over the edge. Do we hold hands or kill each-other, now in the madness as we descend?

Raise a flag and sing an anthem of colours stolen and selling slaves!  Be proud of a history of bloody violence ruling the waves.

See a nation living in mourning for what was promised but never seen. Look at ‘leaders’ of political parties reforming hate  and division for what WW2 had been. 

See civility collapse into anarchy as a nation moves to a state of political unrest. Watch history unfold for gate to nail its quest.
