P>Red sky

Red sky

There is a blood red glow
across the sky
it comes from the other side
of the hill,

Stoked smuts as bodies turn
and cough a stench
of burning flesh,

would I dare to look
from the other side?
I know what's there

herded through the years
their souls now hang
in a blood red sky
fired in straw stack towers

the bitter seeds of progress
never heeds it's own wisdom
just turns a blind eye

in smoke and fire
a lifetime hangs in a
blood red sky.
