Song of the Great Zimbabwe, and Silver and Inca Blood [Poems and notes]
"Song of the Great Zimbabwe" Across the African, winter's sky In the Southern edge of Zimbabwe From on top, of an Ancient Rock A, vista I've longed to see, resides A site, I've longed to meet-; Among the greatest of man's feats? A million-stones, built these ancient walls Some twelve-fathoms, fathoms high Some say: a fortress, and palace, it is; #747 7/2/05 Silver and Inca Blood In the Great Silver mines of Potosi- (Inca Indians) Carry Of rope laddered-steps And A farcified vision to become Rich-off Inca blood, #744 7/1/05 Notes: (The Inca Empire): the assumption is often that the Inca Empire was a large enterprise of its self; a common mistake at best; complicated for sure; but for the most part, the Inca Empire was comprised of ethnic groups who were subjugated into the Inca Empire, similar to the Roman, which was a city nation [Empire] you might say, who subjugated the whole world into its Roman Empire; likewise, so did the Incas of South America. Thus, by treaties or threats of war, the Inca Empire grew with subgroups to a mighty Empire.

You know the rules about writing poetry, right? Are there rules? Well, if you frequent the poetry forums across the Internet as much as I do, you'd find that there are a lot of amateur poets who adamantly declare that there are no rules for writing poetry and if someone even suggests reading poetry or books on poetry, many of the amateur poets will throw up a defensive front. My opinion seems to swing fervently toward the opposition. You have to know the rules before you break them; at least that's what I always say.
