If your love was like the Namib;
Mountainous and bare,
Would you dig deep for water?
Would you scour the ridged crevasses there?

While the planet continues to rotate

It is now 'The End Of Days'
Don't look at us, avert your gaze

An icy hand, your heart, it grips

As cave-dweller O man, thou wert crudest, 
Ere civilized and a bit social made,

I pondered what I could write of
As I looked around this world,
For everywhere I looked I saw
Wrong things get done by man.

Big banks…like men… display their greeds,
And polluters still pollute,

I believe you are fully fledged
And perhaps you have already selected
A straight soulmate among your flying flock
I know my absence's had your heart brimming with rage
May your rage wither as...

Passages of old journeys are but faint echoes in the winds of sorrow.

The sun with his lustrous rays 
Appeared through the cracked walls of the sky,
To wake the sleeping hamlet.

Imagine indigenous people having red skin plaque!!
While things seem disastrous, it is just painted on it.
