What Price?
Good friends, good music, good times.
Hands holding hands,
bodies swaying to the rhythm
of promises of night.
Dancer’s jubilance
fades to a scream
as blood erupts from chest, arms, and legs.
Nightmare falls
as a hundred points
of red ignite the night.
From above
the freeman
exercised his rights.
Below,
free dancers
pay the price for unchecked madness.
Till next time,
Peace,
Andrew
