Reheated Road

Reheated road
Reheated road retired by moving pandemonium,
Altercating, bitching, clamoring and demanding 
sluggishly set forward 
Birds and flies dispersed towards different directions
Their infuriate cry overspread the moving commotion 

Against the riot the power standing 
highly fortified, uniformed with stars 
Attentively antagonized, barricading with iron bars  
behind the fuming

Uproar reached closer
and disagreement sparking 
Bottles, stones, whatever touching hands took wings
High torn and overfilled emotions animated  

in place of confirmation, coordination, and correlation
flushing water, smoky gas and rubber bullets 
find way to reach a peaceful solution
tears, vain juice and  screaming
flowed without win nobody
Road reheated seeking solution treatment!
