forbidden waters
makes one weak
a drowning man
knows no peace
flooding river
winding down
like a warden
grants no release


flooding river
gonna take my home
leave me
naked and alone
mean old river
so unkind
shows no mercy
leaves nothin' behind

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Man this fits those poor folks in Australia.

Great writing, it flows just like a river and has some real passion in it.

Yep, I was thinking of the hell they are having in Australia myself as I read this well-written poem dirge.

~ Intolerant people are the people who do not believe the way we want them to,
which makes us intolerant by default.—July 26, 2010 ~
