When the Dance Stops

When the Dance stops

So now the party in Singapore is over
pacts are signed, and the show of lies is over in the meantime, 
I have been looking at pretty flowers FB, which inspired me
 to go for a walk, the blooms on the terrace are 
past their glory, they are pale shadows waiting for a new spring, 
only my cacti are flowering it has nevertheless with by my 
ignorance and little water thrived and have bell-like red flowers.
The sheep on the field eat the pretty flowers first 
before eating grass, I think they are colour blind
or think beauty must be consumed before it pales.
Meanwhile, the two dancers in Singapore smiled better than a crocodile would and we cynics wait for the next step.
