The once fine air, refreshens with dust
Between the village horizon and crest
Since the sailing of a death chemical chimney.

Young green plants seedlings growing on slope
Are left to sip these  carcinogenic dusts, sapling
And entwined...

Sadness the Arch-enemy of Peace and Bliss,

fades by the emblazoning and dilating skies
Yet the stillness behold a sensation

From flamenco's fire to the...
