acrid smoke swirls in choking clouds of soot sweat-soaked and bitter greedy waterless tears dim the figure of woman earth remnants of ancient volcanoes no longer a person just the shattered leavings and roughhewn men, scared by the battles of mercenary armsman little left of humane weaknesses die fast does the possessor? warrior’s life a brutal existence that builds brutal men, quickly in the blackness there is something new stronger than the flames the pain, the darkness of just hunger in the forest of noisy sleep blanket covered forms of holy warriors dressed as damp stones . ©dark [This message has been edited by Dark Stranger (08-08-2002 05:34 PM).] |

This is not the west coast talking, this is the east, and the raping of the land... [at least, that's how I saw it...] |

 (sad sigh) I have heard all about these fires so so much and the ones in Oregon, here in Colorado we have had so many bad fires too and it is saddening to see many animals now playing survival for the fittest to find food and shelter in those areas! (big hugggsssss) This is a powerfully haunting poem, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Very insightful Dark. I like it. I can't tell you what I was thinking when I saw the word "ganja" in the title. There are a million messages, |

I once planted trees in Big Bear... some 38 years ago... and something tells me it felt the heat and stands scarred but still, a heart beats inside... |

DS It is sad to see such ravished earth, yet I know that a certain part of fire is needed, and gives back a little from what it has taken. Your poem is like looking at another world...in sci fi scary. Well done! |
