War In Her Wedding Gown
War
in
her
wedding
gown
The
bride
of
the
world
Waiting
for
her
groom
to
come
Some
say
its
a
conjugal
bliss
While
others
say
a
vale
of
tears
From
what
I
captured
live
from
my
telly
I
hold
with
those
who
say
vale
of
tears
Two-
drummers
are
beating
their
drums
mingles
with
the
sound
of
a
gong
War
touches
her
head
and
her
anus
She
faces
the
four
cardinal
points
And
she
dances
and
turns
in
an
india-
style
Alas,
viewers
go
the
way
of
all
flesh
Péople
wobbling
up
and
down
Because
the
bride
has
gone
mad
She
runs
here
and
there
As
if
she've
lost
her
groom
She
runs
to
the
market
Shops
and
houses
fell
to
swallow
human
bodies
A
large
passage
to
infant
graves
And
be
one
external
viewer
I
snivel
for
peace
Later,
the
two
drummers
vanished
like
a
candle
flame
My
people,
The
fame
of
war,
Is
the
flood
of
human
blood
And
still,
war
is
calling
for
her
groom
Which
are
yet
to
be
found
To
tell
the
drummers
the
need
for
harmony
But
now,
the
drummers
are
gone
And
the
innocent
viewers
die
like
flies
Until
the
day
the
drummers
are
in
harmony
Thereafter,
her
groom
will
come
to
the
scene
to
appease
her
