Abide

Tip toe through the tulips

gripping your crown

see the clown dancing

swaggering

strutting

prancing

along the avenue

trickling bones

from his finger tips.

Furtive glances

side long smiles

see how they grin

believing

understanding

(or so they thought)

no one would see passed…..

Can can dancers

slight of hand

magic sparkles

thrown in the air

drowning

hiding

cloaking

dastardly deeds played out.

Wide mouthed smiles

banalities uttered

false truths waved around.

White flags

give unto the enemy

hand it over

freedom

currency spent

deposited into the coffers of aliens…..

whilst brave men

audacious men

fight for reality

fight for equality

fight for authenticity

fight to live life

fight to right the wrongs.

Wishes become horses

beggers do ride

time has come…..

Finally

all shall abide…..
