# *She's gone And all the years of holding in Of denying  my truth in order to protect her from-      the truth .. Of the horrors that she has done Of the horrors they both have done. They are both gone now No longer inhabitants of this earth No longer here to bring the risk of making little what it was that was not so very little Even if they owned it who could find the words? There are not words to describe the horrors Are there left  enough years to make up for the ones the locusts have eaten?     There  are no words     to ever be able  to describe     just  how  much       the locusts have eaten* #

Locusts
Conservation lol... We continue to **** the natural environment for little more than vanity and prestige; The clever culture of taking what we need from our own sustainable environment, has now been replaced with greed and a class system that's based on: FALSE PROFIT- (imaginary figures) Inevitable the day will come, when there's no one left to boast; who killed the most fish, cut down the most trees, dug the biggest hole, ground down the largest mountain, or who ****** up the most oil. And our small place in the great scheme of things will have become untenable;  a few fossils may remain as evidence, as to our meaningless, childish and destructive pursuits. However natural justice will eventually prevail, as the world continues with its 50 million cleaning cycle and our petulant place within the world will have little or no meaningful significance. (So my advice to you is: forget all this social climbing, find something that you enjoy doing, and do it till your dead)

Conservation & Politics
crickets chirping, locusts flying flowers blooming, flowers dying farmers working in their fields locusts eating all the yields crickets singing, locusts swarming getting worse as the days are warming chickens feasting on the pests and we will feast on chicken ******* locust tobacco on my hand locusts surrounding where I stand catch the ****** things in a jar if i freeze them, then they'll make it far save them all as winter treats when we're all out of chicken treats locusts swarming, locusts flying flowers blooming, flowers dying

Locusts
thoughts of us swarm my mind like a cloud of locusts, their strong power of flight damaging every circuit, all interconnected, causing every part of my body to slow down and reminisce of the time we spent being together.

december eighteenth, two thousand fourteen
a lifetime of anticipation, I waited for the Great Feast a lifetime of discipline, to spare my appetite not to spoil it On mere junk food As the big day came The Menu was discussed In exquisite detail I was told, About all the dishes Their tastes and flavours Hungry as a roaring lion I patiently waited at the door Inside the hallowed hall My feast was being set Pure white linen ****** crockery And golden cutlery awaited At my seat of honour With tremendous pomp The doors swung open The majestic hall in candle lit beauty beckoned and welcomed my every step The servants showed my throne Where I sat down. Gleaming lids covered my feast With Candle light dancing on the polished gold Hors d ouvres first, destroyed I was when I saw That someone else was here before My wonderful roast Already carved, Huge chunks eaten And dry bones left Fresh green peas Were rudely dug in By filthy fingers No manners for a spoon Desert was half eaten Ice cream left to melt And of after dinner mints Only a handful left Thus then violated, My beautiful feast! Others snuck in And ravaged my table They left some crumbs spoilt leftovers As the Locusts went on Without a care! Now I sit hungry Alone and forgotten Staring in disbelief At my desolate table How I wish I had known, Before I came in That the menu was a lie And someone else had been Elsewhere I'd have gone and eaten Or at least not starved myself In anticipation for a feast That the Locusts have eaten Daylight revealed my majestic hall, merely an old shed Where the Locusts were WELCOMED! Far from being the guest of honour I am instead the lowly servant No rights or privilege Left to clean the Locusts' mess A live cockroach, if I can catch Sustains me, barely I fill my chipped cup With tears of sadness

Pain is misunderstood Some think it disease Yet, disease brings either Healing or death Both a sweet release No, real pain is so much more Continuous pain A poison twined with your blood There is no escape There is no cure There is no release Day after day An everyday torment That which you held dear Destroyed by the Locusts There I stand In my field of dreams With naught but bare husks Some empty jars And chaff in the wind Dark clouds shroud An ice cold heart My limbs go numb As my pain reminds It's always there This is pain, No release No cure No healing No escape Torment day after day In my field of dreams Devoured by the Locusts!
