They are burning again! The smoke woke me up...I thought the apartment was on fire. So, I ran out onto the lanai to make sure. Under the shadow of night, I just watched a cloud of red smoke creeping through the darkness across my world and engulf it. I now stand here in the threshold of my living room, and mere feet from where my child lays his head, fighting for screen time with carcinogenic black ash that is falling upon my phone as if it were moths attracted to its light. My eyes are starting to swell, being preceded by a scratchy throat...I can feel the start of pressure at my temples, soon I will have an incurable headache; my son just concured with a flemmy complaint. When the sun rises and my day is to begin, again, I will have a heaping, yet, scattered pile of blackened excrement of chemically infused soot to clean off my property...inside and out...this includes my pets; but, with no energey to do so because the sickness of the burn has invaded my body like charred ravenous locust. And, why? Because the embodiment of evil that is HC&S are too lazy and selfish to truly care about their neighbors or the environment as their many pandering, and contrived statements and letters to the community would have you believe. Oh, I cant wait for the redundancy of the vapid and condescending public apologies for the mess and inconvenience; copied and pasted from the previous ones. And, the trolls, shils and paid lackeys defending this reign of oppression as if it was an equal to the unfortunate environmental inconvenience of natures vog, and more importantly, something to be nostalgic over, a cultural identifier, a local way of life; as if this malevolent buisness practice was inspired by the ancients who are far removed from the majority of most local blood lines. And, as if there is no reasonable, logical, ethical, econmical or healthier alternative other than moving to the mainland if you dont like it (because you are obviously a haole transplant if you dont like being sick or question the unethical practices of a haole ran, mainland transplanted company). Here is to another burning season. Here is to the slow and painful burning death of cancer. Here is to the black snow choking us with its poisonous reminder that greed and sloth are ever prevalent, even in paradise...
