"Run to the hills, run for your lives."
.Iron maiden.




























From fire,
I have seen this rise,

like ashes,
blotting out the sky,

and horror,
as the walls came down,

and forced,
us all onto the ground,

on hands,
and knees,

a natives view

From fire,
I have seen this truth.





and strike,
we now unto thine breast,

and bite ,
and claw and fought the rest,

merciless,
bloodshed, cleaved our skulls,

and shot,
us full of bullet holes,




reparation,
now at hand?

just to,
gain a piece of land.




extermination,
failure, see,

we held firm,
 to our unity,

we stayed true,
to our tribes beliefs




and we may
mourn, the
dead and gone,

but our
spirit,
carries on...

This was like a magnificent poetic inscription on a tombstone entrance to an ancient cemetary of long dead tribes people, their spirit kept live with your words. Really dug this piece :) Nice one, Lydia. -Carl
