Sorry this is a bit dark!


Bonfire Night


The pops and bangs
And flashes of spray
Dance round my window.

Is it a gunshot
Or just a banger?
Is it a falling star
Or a rocket
Gushing for a second?

A night of fun
For most,
But I hear the sirens,
As the dogs cower,
And the hospitals
Fill with burnt
Children and fathers
Who knew it all.

Black Knight
Flares, fire and people cry,
And all around start to fight.
Someone is fighting only for fun,
But someone for right that just to see the sun,
You've seen a bonfire night as you says,
I have in my life many bonfire days.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Black Knight.

this must be about dictatorship and failing democracy, riots, people marching in violent protests, or unviolent, getting unnecassary use of power against them, unrightseous and illegal treatment and imprizoning of those who hold the possible freedom. Fortunately it is not democrasy that are failing, but diktatorship that have faces and are easier to break than it seems to. This world is far from free, when are people going to realize that?
