Fire and Water (a poem)

The Fire that Burns the Water

by Alraune

They always said we were never meant to be,

that your floods would wash all over me.

They said you would wash all I care for away,

that all I ever loved could no longer stay.

They knew of what they spoke,

but far they were from the essence of your yoke.

They had some idea of what they said,

but they had never been inside your head.

You drowned me, yes you did!

You took all of me away and made it hid.

You hurt me bad, girl.

You destroyed my being.

You devastated everything.

But I set fire to your watery waste.

I boiled you to flames in all haste.

I evaporated you from my being.

In my soul you are no longer seen.

My flames burned you away,

you are vapor and that is where you will stay.

Your waters are powerless against my flame,

you are gone, your vapor is all that can remain.

I am a fire with which you cannot compete,

I am the lightning which flows down,

from places even you cannot creep.

I am the fire of being..yeah, I am everything!

Yeah, I am everything!

I set fire to your watery waste.

I'll burn forever.

Feel me, but never taste.

I set fire to your watery ways,

Even the oceans cannot stay.

I consume you with all my being,

Only hope can be seen.

Yes, only hope can be seen!

Like a flash of ligthning,

I scorch across the sky.

I set fire to the rain!

Watch it burn and die.

POOF! You are gone.

You and I are gone!

Some fires can never be quenched...

So mote it be!

Goodbye.

I Wanna Be Free!

I Wanna Be Free!

A Poem by Alraune

I'm sick of working myself to exhaustion for scraps

I'm sick of it having to be this way

This is not my game, this is someone else's game

I no longer want to play, I no longer will play

To hell with your games and your television and your phones

To hell with your gizmos and gadgets and your worthless devices

To hell with your running water and to hell with your civilization!

Take my “choices” and stick them where the Sun don't shine

Take all your rules and do the same

I have one rule, one law, which is love

Your world does not love, it is incapable of love

This world can't be fixed, it doesn't want to be “fixed”

I don't want to change your world – I'll change mine

Look at them, just look at the people

They are dying, they are dead – you've killed them

The cancers and poisons and stress

Your world did this to them all

Your world, the one you support

The world I am trying so desperately hard to not support

If this is progress I want out, I am out

I will walk away, I am walking away

We don't need to fight your fight and play your game

We can all walk away and watch it fall

That is why the world hates those who hate it...

If we all walked away it would die, and it knows it

We don't need it, all we need is love and what Great Spirit gave us freely

We don't need money and laws of exchange

And damn it! I will prove it.

REVOLUTION! I am on strike against the whole damned system

If it ain't free like me, then I don't want it

I don't give up, I quite the game I recognize is stacked against me

I rebuke the bondage, the slavery, the killing – I rebuke it all

REVOLUTION! I rebuke this gross sin against humanity and life

This civilization doesn't help people or the world – it destroys it

I will not fight it, I will merely walk away, and run if it chases me

Damn every one of you who loves it, you are a curse upon yourself

REVOLUTION! What comes around goes around

All things rise from the dust and it is to dust which all things return

I do not fear quiting the game – I fear a world without love

Damn those who love this world and so hate me, but know it not

Free. What is it to be free?

There is no free if money is required

There is no freedom if we play this game

If you want to be free you have to quit

You must despise this world – this civil-i-zation

It's an idea – just walk away

Ideas cannot be killed or imprisoned

Plan, prepare, learn, and walk away

None of us need it – all we need is love and Mother Nature

All we need is love

This world will try to hold you hostage through those you love

This world holds people hostage through those they love

Don't let it! Find out and help them find out

Let everyone find out on their own which they love more: freedom or the bondage of this world

Let everyone find out if they are really loved – do not fear what you may find

Does love require money? Is love truly free?

Freedom from within breeds freedom from without

I have seen the light! I see the way

You can't kill an idea

Freedom most certainly is free...
