They felt the Earth around them Living They took from her only what was needful They were respectful They were proud With just cause When they killed it was with dignity For the creature and for themselves They lived on the land And with it as one They lived in harmony with the seasons In harmony with nature Those that came and destroyed them saw the land as other A wild thing to be tamed or exploited The animals they saw as pests or plentiful meat They saw they could PROFIT from the land They used it, they beat it down, They burned, blasted and built on it They raped it And in two hundred years and more They have no more dignity now than then Their greedy eyes are still on fire Exploiting any natural thing and bending it to their will To profit from its death Having no soul now to lose they justify every disrespectful act as a another part of glorious Amerika The killers see themselves as saints The stupid see themselves as smart The sleazy see themselves as spiritual The barbarians see themselves as civilized The unlearned see themselves as teachers The bringers of violence see themselves as peacemakers The perpetrators of terror see themselves as victims The horror of their ignorance is complete Amerikan Savages |

Very true words. Yet, what is gone, is gone forever. Explore the invisible, for it is always there. Thanks, and good job. "The poet is the priest of the invisible." |

First of all, I welcome you (along with everybody else) to dark passions. This was great, I really liked it. It reminds me of one I wrote and posted recently called Battle's Eve on the same subject matter. It's in Dark #3 a few weeks back if your interested. I think you might like it. Anyways, once again, this was a great post, thank you. Keep'm com'n! G Regret not that which you have done, |

"The horror of their ignorance is complete." This makes lots of sense...James |
