JOURNAL#30 such grief in great gales
the tourist feeler likely feels
such habits of home
no longer revealed
just dust and decay
oh and much gold by the way
but what life really
does that speak of
the dessert of their every day
do we really have the tools to relay
how their lives were lived
who they loved and what they did
so much time with so little water
imagine the foul oder of bodies
rarely washed
the fetid waters they drank from
the sand in their every bite of food
they had to take in
warn down teeth
along side the diseases of all the dying
young
it couldn't have been so grand
not like our history books state
so beautifully..........
