lost in colour

consciousness

found in spiritual

character

 discovered mourning

 for those passed

 to the afterlife

 speaking

dark olive 

 man

 crown of crooked 

wire 

embedded in his brow

unclotted blood

 fell 

like thick red rain 

on a seething

 earth

 undeserving people

killing for cloth

fighting for pigment

instead of praying

for a united kingdom
