Analysis of Kingsley



I wonder...
Do your eyes sparkle--
As they exchange fireworks?
Casualties and convenience,
Are these terms synonymous?
Oh how could you ever dare shut up--
When lives are being touched beyond grasp?
But let their tears pour. Sigh with your alibis,
Because you will watch without wondering why.
