Treason Poem by Saumya xoxo

All I see is a thousand lights,
Sparks and flames buzz through the air.
Clashes of crimson and red, Paint murals across the sky.

Eyes all glitter,
While I hear the crackle of the wood.
The sudden whoosh of fire,
Glares at me while I cower in my hood.

Why Is it me?
Why do I hear these screams?
Smiles linger around me,
But all I see is Fawkes's eyes weep.

A man with soldier's craft and skills,
Whose soles belong to the nobleman to slay.
Now on this wet November day,
I see him crumble in cellars deep beneath the deck.

How do you laugh and live,
While he gets dragged by his knees.
Half-dead and coughing,
His eyes bleeding.

Though he attempted treason,
His smile held no guilt.
'Cause he knew the reason,
No one else tried to seek.
