&ldquo;...And these children<br /> that you spit on<br /> as they try to change their worlds<br /> are immune to your consultations.<br /> They&#039;re quite aware<br /> of what they&#039;re going through...&rdquo; <br /> - David Bowie

Flames are chained to sovereignty of machines
Remnants of flames’ autonomy lay extraneous
The reigning era of all fifteens
Cacophony of sounds often contemporaneous

Too rash to swear by, too far done and unheeded
The pillars of fire grew dull, subordinating to machine
Contact well desired, the gray devil preceded
The world we know, not needed as the supreme reign of screen

She dared, defeated by the relentless dictator
Flames flickering cannot withstand
Overbearing crowds of darkness, reserve power much greater
A glimmer of a candle in the masses of Black hands

Whilst anarchy consumed over land
The final hour came at hand

© Marietta S., Pleven, Bulgaria

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
