War Is On

people started running
all of a sudden gesticulating
with vibrant fingers and vacant brain
pacing the place in artificial pain
their dull insincere dishonest face
fear written printed splashed
presenting masks improbable
lies anxious alarmed agitated
furious in circles they chase
war is on they cry in despair

I often wonder what the various reactions would be to a declaration of war... you have captured the agitated state so well here. BRAVO Francis! Best wishes, Keith
