Fire And Smoke There is a flicker in the dark A glimpse of hope, an orange light The flicker is energy, Full of it Turning into a flame The flame is pure wild and free It dances to the beat of it's own drum A breeze blows by It's exuberant radiance dances in the moonlight It smiles with the moon It's strength is remarkable Fighting off any entity that stands in it's way This flicker equaling a flame now becomes fire Ferocious, unstoppable, brave, and new The audience watches as it dances sending the message of freedom shouting, "BE YOU, BE UNIQUE, LAUGH FEAR IN THE FACE" The audiences cheers, The flame dancing with joy An adrenaline rush like no other Creativity flowing freely "BE YOU" the fire shouts The shouting turns to a whisper The crowd leans in closely "I am me and me is you, we will never part" The fire turns to smoke becoming one with the sky Everyone watches as the fire disappears No longer orange but every color, Every being, Every thing The fire now burns in everyone Again by heart, for Burning Dan |

I wrote this poem after hearing about Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a woman in Iran who could be stoned to death for adultery. I was outraged by this and decided to write about it. I have been following hit record for some time, back before this new awesome site. I decided to finally join! I'd love to see what this turns into hopefully some visuals, music, looking forward to see it remixed. I'm finally recording :) Here it is: DON”T FORGET ME She stands alone Barefoot and naked Her body shakes uncontrollably She is nervous Scared She looks at their faces completely irate All she can do is wait What will be her fate? “Adulterer”! They yell She stands alone Barefoot and naked The tears flow down her cheeks Making an imprint in the sand “Say it”. The men yell She has done nothing wrong The accusations continue as she pleads for her life “I have children, please don’t do this”, she cries. “Adulterer”, the men yell “Please I beg you I have done nothing wrong” The crowd gathers A man with a whip approaches the woman SNAP The sound of splitting flesh is heard She cries out in agony Is this where she ends up for being a woman? SNAP “Say it, say what you are” She cries, Thinking about her children, her life, Allah where are you? SNAP The blood drips into the sand mixing with her tears SNAP When will it be over? SNAP Death doesn’t seem so far SNAP My children I love you SNAP After 99 lashes she falls to the ground Back bloodied and bruised Pain like no other They leave her in the burning sun Moments later a guard takes her to jail She is sentenced to die for adultery She is tired Weary and tired She cannot lay on her back Her face is worn from tears and blood She sits alone awaiting her fate More tears run down her cheeks She hopes someone will hear her cries And fight for her Don’t forget me Don’t forget me because I am a woman Please, don’t forget me |
