Divided by a Single Colored Difference


Ten voices whispering through the air

As they leave the den and as they whirl towards the other side.

Nine flies by but one finds its mark and another runs away.

Only eight left half divided by a single colored difference.

Seven is left as another drop down like an aimless moth attracted by the light.

Six is left divided by a single colored difference.

Five still swarming around while another is laid to rest

Four roars comes from a distance signaling a final destination.

Three still divided by a single colored difference

as one runs but is caught form the back.

Two stands tall with pride while another flees for its life.

One last stand before the roar comes closer.

Yet Zero is left divided by a single colored difference.
