The skies fell the seas boiled all around the screams of the damned Every wish goes unfulfilled Every plant dies in every field the earth dies Green blood pours into the air away from blow carrying it there great chasms opened in the plains and farms swallowing the pious swallowing the damned as the great cry went up WHY US LORD WHY US can like be so cruel to take the genious and the fool Looking down and to the sky those who knew they were to die became resigned to their fate the fight was gone simple hate We the lost ones stare at the sky watching live and space as they go by Never did we know lifes cruel plan all will die to the man Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling 'Tis |

Not really sure what to say here. Tis kind of a bleak outlook. I would understand this to be the Revelations period. The end times. Not all shall die, but certainly all flesh will. This is well written in that it shall scare the 'hell' out of many. But not necessarily my views on what will happen. <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |

Never did we know lifes cruel plan all will die to the man This is probably not the best time to pluck out a piece of Taoism but "Returning to the root is called quietude. Quietude is called returning to life. Return to life is called constant. Knowing this constant is called illumination. Acting arbitrarily without knowing the constant is harmful. Knowing the constant is receptivity, which is impartial. Impartiality is kingship. Kingship is Heaven. Heaven is Tao Tao is eternal. Though you lose the body, you do not die". a very intense and dark poem, I remember walking through similar places and am sure I will revisit them again but please don't stay there or lose yourself to the pain. I wish you well take care and peace, I hope you find that ray of light. "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |

There is a light switch in your heart and soul somewhere....just takes awhile to find it at times. Excellent read though I had to read it by candle light. |
