(Revisited)
Copyright June 3. 1997
(This poem is taken from a documentary film (of the same name) I watched at University
and was required to paint my feelings:)
Technology wrestling tradition in lands, time omits
Chantings, blanket thinning forests
And lingering rhythm of decayed cities
Togetherness, like night and day with
Powered wings slashing tranquillity
And cruelty shadowed by a Panpipe of haunting melodies
Eclipse of life, death harmonized like volcanic ashes
in a funeral pyre .
Riches and beauty sought with greed
clouded judgments with insanity
Beat the drums of thunder
Echoing, the trees give heed
Pagan idols of gold laden while children hunger
Truth belated All consumed energy
As toothless be-hatted men watch apathetically
the dawns of doom reaching
with invisible taloned fingers across the vast forgotten lands
The future Behold.
