A Poem a Day (177): A protest hijacked

Hi, here’s a second little one I wrote today for JD Mader’s 2minutesgo writing exercise, which happens every weekend at his blog, Unemployed Imagination. Head over there to write, read or comment. Have a groovy Sunday! 

A protest hijacked 

Bloodied horses rearing, 
Men stood still like jagged teeth.
Bricks and words.

Anger spiralling. Short fuses
Lit for fireworks soaring
Into anger under anger.

Clash of bones. Wrangled fear.
Peaceful placards bleeding
Out.
