The Riots

I've never seen a riot
but these pictures I've been looking at
devastating.

This is not a apart of the Faraway Friends series but I've really been affected by these pictures.

the city burns
as we
mourn the loss
of a cup of silver
the crazed demons deploy
a wave of violence
over a coastal city
burning, burning
People are
bleeding
pleading with police
as the cops spray gas over the crowd
in descends slowly on the pained canucks
burning burning
people with mannequin legs screaming
in chaotic force
the dragon chugging chugging
stolen liquor
the manniquin legs held high above the jerseyed undefeated force of darkness
burning burning
the crowds are screaming
the cops are moving
forward
yelling
trying to
protect
prevent
more violence


and two flower children kiss
in the middle of a black hole
kissing
in a pit of destruction
sharing a loving moment
while the city burns
