The Avatar was off his game.
He was looking for you,
as he wanted your name.
Pay attention to him,
for this I will exclaim,
"He will seek you out",
as he needs you to blame
for the ills of the World,
he says he's trying to tame.

Your life was short
And you left me early
One day you were here
The next day you were gone
And life was never the same

Perhaps you thought
I would not remember
Lessons you taught me
About right and wrong
About love and respect

But I remember them all
Like it happened yesterday
They helped define me
And will be with me always
In my heart, right next to you

It is not a romance.
They are creatures
who jump and prance.
Rippling light, in the dark.
A different noise; a Lark?

When you try to be clever,
like you often do,
the results can be fatal,
because of you.
Your failure to take action,
for months on an end.
Happened on your watch.
Is this too deep a subject
for you to put in your steeple?
Turn the action over now
to the Medical People,
now, before you "bunch up" your shorts.
Take action with a plan or just Abort.

FALLS CITY, ORE. — A few hundred feet past this Oregon timber town, a curtain of Douglas fir trees opens to an expanse of skinny stumps.
The hillside has been clear-cut, with thousands of trees leveled at once. Around the bend is another clear-cut nearly twice its size, then another, patches of desert brown carved into the forest for miles.

Logging is booming around Falls City, a town of about 1,000 residents in the Oregon Coast Range. More trees are cut in the county today than decades ago when a sawmill hummed on Main Street and timber workers and their families filled the now-closed cafes, grocery stores and shops selling home appliances, sporting goods and feed for livestock..........Read more
