    Very dark visual masterpiece of colour.
    The idea of jesters and clowns fill my mind with colour. The idea of the word burning down and smashing the colourful stained glass window so that everyone can see immediately takes the mind to a church.

    Tearing down the hallowed place reinforcing the idea of the religious connection.

    Even the Devil wears red when he announces the end of the world and encourages all that is blasphemous
    to come forward. The reference to
    Dantes picture which of course portrays his journey through hell makes me think
    that this poem paints your journey through hell on earth.

    Bringing forth all the angels of the slaughterhouse and ringing the bells of bones are amazing lines. The portrayal as the end of times as being acted on a stage
    excellent concept very much enjoyed

    An amazingly powerful poem
