Free the Souls

Fires singe; build castles of dust and the winds bring freedom. Spirits riding the air, never need to rest; bondage in an underground box is theft. To rob a souls freedom; an unpunished crime, based on fear, paranoia. Ashes, clean and free; the purifying holy dust; that blankets Mother Earth’s spirit; connects all life. Life’s wheel, spins eternal; rolling through back alleys of time and space. The turning, mixes the holy dust and it settles, anew. Fresh spirit dust waits for recycling; that is the natural turning. Life recycles life, as dust recycles dust. The circle always, full cycle; never completes; it is a builder and it must build.

Wow! "To rob a souls freedom; an unpunished crime, based on fear, paranoia." So true! A thousand percent true, if that's possible. I do not like math.
