Painted Black <br />Chameleons on two feet <br />Painting murals of dripping life <br />In abstract fauvism <br />As limbs float on sanguine puddles <br />As bamboo skin molts like jaundiced wax <br />Dwarfing even the genius of Matisse <br />For war is a behemoth creature <br />With gripping canines and fiery tongues <br />And if you look close enough <br />You may just see the shadow of Lucifer <br />Amidst the rising napalm<br /><br />Dilantha Gunawardana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/war-347/
