Take a moment to imagine what peace could bring
A bountiful future, loyal companions and a dash of rainbow
Perfectly structured, don't you think?
Let's take this further
Glance at the one sitting next to you
What do you see?

A grey, demented mist of acquiescence enveloped its upper body
You watch that selfish shadow take over and now
As you talk to the shadow
Asking for a reassuring nod
What do you see?

An odd grin, you see
The shadow is oblivious and responds to the strange smile
Of a sinister clown
The clown takes the shadow
Placing its yellow smudged hand
On the oblivious shadow
Soon, you'll see

The shadow is gone
The clown is not grinning
It has a scarf, a blue scarf
Surrounding its neck
Blank background and colors are whispering
There is a moment of regret and fear

As if the scarf was not rude enough
A glimmering knife joined the party
The clown held the knife tightly
But, what type of scene can your eyes see?

A struggling tear escapes the eye of the clown
Pointless, it was
He now walks to the stage along with the scarf
On the stage, the shadow cried
Your eyes can't help and so you wonder
Indeed, the knife was no more
