Though I suppose on the bright side I don't get roped into to anymore last minute babysitting duties.

The Masked Ball of Geometry
Dark days. Dark poem. Couldn't be bothered with poetic form or rhyming pattern. Played fast and loose with the vocabulary. It's more important what you say than how you say. When people stop standing up and saying things, bad things happen. Picture is licenced from adobe stock.
