Where is the Peace?





Fire and destruction obliterate the scene
Illuminating the stage where the riots have been

The violence and chaos went on through the night
This wasn't intended this bloody great fight
What triggered the battle that raged on the street,
Causing peaceful protestors to withdraw and retreat?

Where did they come from, this unwanted party?
Who had created this powerful army?
Thugs hijacked the cause for their own pleasure
Enjoying creating the tension and pressure

The Police approached in a militant manner
No reason to believe the words on the banner
Billowing smoke belched into the sky
Leaving peaceful protestors wondering "Why?"

It was supposed to be a march opposing war
Peace on Earth was the message they bore
It's ironic to think it ignited a fight
We live in hope that a truce is in sight



Thanks to creativewritingink for this week's

Art Work of Autumn



Paint pots are opened
The brushes are dipped
Summer's canvas of sunshine
Is torn up and ripped
An explosion of colour
Splatters the scene
Gone are the shades
Of vibrant green

Rustic colours, so bold and bright
Like a furious flame, in a fading light
Autumn is here
With all its grandeur
Nature has decorated
With an ardent fervour

This is my first post in a while.
It feels good to be back!
I love the picture, autumn is my 
favourite season!
Thank you to creativewritingink for 
providing another great prompt!
