Crying Country

[dirtgirl]

I'm not sure if I've posted this one before but I like it

Crying Country

Spinifex
Rusting rocks laid bare under azure sky’s
Heat haze shimmering
Pure Chiaroscuro

Dying Country

The rocks mock
Their infinite vastness as endless as the universe itself
Stardust laughing at transient flesh
The dreaming ghosts murmur on the easterly’s
Their siren song
A lullaby for the disenfranchised fringe-dwellers
And lonely dreamers

Artefacts litter the ancient soil
Detritus of a lost, broken people
Black and White
A language now extinct
A culture lost
All in the name of progress.

All in the name of progress.
This reminds me of something I wrote ages ago, on a day where I was pissed off with industrilisation and commercialism. Actually, that's everyday.

Good work Di
