Incendiary

Mauis fire is already in print, a book titled fire and fury
Is doing a stint' published four days after the killer event
By a dr Miles Stones,
Its has eywitness accounts and results of investigative
Time; spent, this by government bodies so renowed of
Their speed.? Well be that as it may I suppose i might
Have a read? of the lack of foreknowledge by local police
The terror of civilians, and the ensuing relief.? That we all
Are the blame, Have i heard such before.? Oh i heard there
Was a boat at sea on it also fire did roar.? Seems so strange
Cause maybe someone drooped a cigerette to floor?
 I don't want to be Gloomy? To become just a drag.' 
Beoause its all light and
Joy in the global crews view' Hey you all take care now.'
Thats the new normal to do.'  Yet is it all normal.? Maybe
I'll have a think? Take up playing patience and pour out
A stiff drink.'

Well put. This has been a huge tragedy. What makes it worse is that the mayor is serving eviction notices for residents who still had standing houses. Seems there are investors quickly seeking to buy all the land. Figures, most people there are left with nothing, now they want to make it bad for those who were more fortunate.

All I know it was horrible and sad. And of course, we who are safe, will spout off theories, books etc, use terms to sound that we are better than Maui. Arrogant nonsenserules our world. I can’t even imagine such a horror,, Joe. Australia had horrid fires, I remember a poetess blaming America from Australia.for your fire?? Kids are dead and adults. How easy for us “parlor patriots”to point fingers. I find we are sadder than Maui. Pangie

The leaders and influencers are really depraved is all i can Gather Pangi..Most anyway There are a few like Graham Hood And Andrew Brigend in The U K, look we have always Had fires in Aus, but those in 2018 I beleive were 'not all' self occuring, I know the that Some eco zealots were arrested in California for arson?

So, we are getting a broader definition of "Normal" -- it use to mean, to most people, a good set of standards, based on bible teachings of what is right and wrong. Now we know, "it just means whatever most people agree upon," -- like abortion seconds before birth, like headhunting was normal to some societies. Make mine Jack Daniels, Joe.

I follow what you are saying Joe. Though I did ride a motorcycle in my early wild days. That one hurt. I've also driven a truck (those potholes already exists). I do blame the fires on government, poor management of electrical grid (many of those houses were make of very flammable wood materials)...but in the USA, when you fail at a government or a school job, you are fired upward, to a better paying position. Hired by mainstream news. Our president was on top of it all, sunning himself on a Delaware Beach. Those poor children and parents, an entire school district lost -- heartbreaking!!

I suppose it could become normal to put wires across roads To decapitate bikers or put holes Under asphalte so semi trailers Could break through the road as they are heavier.' But who would Want that? Btw i'm wondering if I should even be writing this.? So Many sickos around Joe'
