The Good Cause

A florist van turns a corner violently and three wreaths fall from the rear door onto the pavement.

People on their way to work pause for a moment when they pass the wreaths.

Later locals bring flowers and add them to the wreaths.

On Sunday night a group put candles around the flowers and the wreaths.

A week later the local paper publishes an article about the candles, the flowers and the wreaths.

A month goes by and Politicians makes impassioned speeches about the candles, the flowers and the wreaths.

Exactly a year later the Government erects a great monument.
