Dancing Color of Power

Drained mud of twist
at their soothing
speeches,
Deceptive tunes of
acceptance for the
conspiracy of
subverted conscience.

Rave of justice silent
at the afflicted
atmosphere of
corruption.
Dancing ball of the
eyes,
spraying the tears of
the innocent at the
pool of their blood.

Shaft of grueling
terror at the journey
of shame and defeat,
bitter taste of war at
the lonely defeat of
peace and harmony.

Afflicted chains of
despair at the
streak of forbidden
pain to bear,
painting revolution in
the color and art of
misery.

The crafted garment of
shame at the open
deceit of shame and
wickedness.

Swindling journey of
the past,
liberating the present
from the dark to
revive the light of
the future.
