That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring.

It is among the commonplaces of education that we often first cut off the living root and then try to replace its natural functions by artificial means.

My bridled soul leaps under the pressure of desires,
Chained i am by this organic-societal form from galloping free

An all knowing glance pierced deep through my skin
Smiling at my ailing and confused form,
Invading my senses, feeding them to the eternal fires...
