a continuation from fading of colour |
| I open my eyes to banging on my cell door Fellow inmates stand there amusement upon their faces They hold weapons of mischief in their eager hands They drag me along laughing like a flock of birds We sneak up upon our enemies They feel warm and safe in their dorms Silently we ghost through the halls Leaving gifts where ever we go They would be sorry they ever attacked us The halls are white with paper, glue and flour Traps at every door Smiling a boy leaves a can that seeps smoke We run back to our beds Unseen by the jailors There is an alarm Then there is shouting Sleepily we open our doors as the jailors Run to aid the enemy and receive gifts of their own You can never take the colour from our eyes I think We wait for the dawn when the jailors knock on our cells Questioning questioning questioning The know it was us but they can never prove Now we await the dawn When the enemy attacks Adding colour to our grey existance |
