the paint on canvas


The paint on canvas
The scenes will unfold
The artists will impress
The onlookers by the side

The brush strokes to explain
The dark patches rising in the horizon
The demons of the wayward warriors
They will not disappear from sight

On the ground the workers carryng placards
Telling the economy isn't rosy as the rose
There are thorns amongst the branches
Piercing blood the lies of pain

The falling leaves wave
The good life has to end
The decades of the familiar faces
It is time to change

The artists draw up on canvas
The brush strokes tell a story
The people watch as bystanders
Knowing the truth will set us free
