Submersion

Hypnotic.
Simply fascinating,
How fire can
Be peaceful, tongues lapping
Whatever is thrown
at them, swallowing
And creating a world anew out of
ashes, and embers of a
Dying belief.

Hypnotic.
Simply fascinating,
How water can
Be furious, bullets and shards
of water pushing, pushing
down hopes and aspirations and
Ambitions, drowning
possibilities and probabilities and certainties
Destroying even the
hope of a
half-formed dream.

(1): Something unmentionable   that occurs one week every month, renders women worldwide untouchable, is regarded taboo and poisonous by society. Def. (2): A quality which enables heredity (or its unwanted first cousin nepotism) as a deciding factor for positions of power. A viable career option for most politicians. (Ref. Blue blood: a speciality only found in the aristocracy) Def. (3): The gushing rivers and its tributaries that mar history and are used in great amounts to sculpt and fashion the world as we know it. First coated by steel, then permeated with gas, and then accentuated with explosions of hydrogen. Def. (4): An excuse used for patriotism (see 'boundaries' and 'barriers'). Causes its eld
