Hello Cassie,

I read this a few times to understand what the grey stones were. Then when I scrolled down I read your footnote. I like poems that don't spoon feed the reader.

I like the form and powerfully emotive words like, desecrated. The frustrated anger is clear...

I mean these people have no conscience and certainly no heart. The final 'note' is a good one, a single self centered word 'me'. Mindless apes that only think of themselves.

Cassie, I can see why you felt the need to write this poem. It highlights a section of our society that operate on a different moral code. It's a real shame.

Thanks for posting. Sorry I'm out of votes as this really deserves the front page.

Well done and take care.

Michael

Cassie, wonderfully written. I too am sadden and angered and confused why people feel its ok to do this type of damage to something so sacred. You described your feelings so eloquently, well done-

Cassie, this is a beautiful but sad piece.
It's such ashame that people feel it's ok to do this sort of stuff.

take care, Em
