Seven For Chaos and Order --- Oppression
Food fight at a banquet, food fight by the starving
Book bonfire's acrid black smoke, petrol on putrid pond, panicked protestors
Insanity's fantasy, shrieking empty conflict, taking sides, genocide
Anarchy between regimes, massacre, surrender, repression, purges, injustice
Ranks of soldiers: on parade - before battle - in the cemetery
Political Rubik's cube - all faces white - pointless puzzle - unending utopia
Despotic metronome beating life - drudgery - purgatory - tyranny - slavery
