 In Mud and Fire No job, no money Just searching empty streets No light, no tunnel Useless, restless and beat No fun, all mistakes Unfunny men on Internets No jealousy all suspicion They say elephants don't forget Meet me in the middle Of the war of the worlds Meet me in the battle field With no armor or weapons Meet me with no clothes on In mud and fire Meet me with no judgment And I'll fall at your feet No cure, no method Only beating of the heart No cancer, no disease Can we dream that far No sex, all pornography On streets and in the news No love, no emotions We lay broken and in ruins © J A Mason |

Jay this was a powerful and truthful write about us and our world, maybe a little personal angst too I read between the lines. Emotional and deep I really feel this with you, brilliant write once again, always from the heart with you and your wonderful mind just places words so eloquently no matter what the subject. I owe you another exalt, sadly I have a list but I wont forget. Kerry xx  Exalt PAID  |

Jay, this was such a moving piece. Am I wrong to interpret "they say elephants don't forget" as a slight lashing out at the conservative right? Might just be my liberal intuition  You are quite right that there is a war of the worlds going on, and I am as guilty as any in choosing what I deem to be the correct side, although I am just as blind as any fool regarding these matters. What the world needs most right now is healing, and you paint that so well. I would gladly meet you in mud and fire to attempt to restore order and peace in this world. "No sex, all pornography On streets and in the news No love, no emotions We lay broken and in ruins" This reminded me very much of 1984... but sadly, also of reality. Well done my friend, very well done indeed. Exalt pending from me as well. ...And now it is paid. |
