The Earth is parched She's crying out She weeps to the Nations 'Nothing hurts like your mouth'
The trees slump over in the wind With sappy tears and wailing arms They beg 'Give us the rain, so we may soak our limbs' 'Our seedlings will perish without ever leaving their cribs'
The rolling hills aren't laughing any more Green is fading to brown From here to Singapore
Because..........
They scorch the Earth And rape Her pride While sucking out the last Animalistic scribe
As they sit and dream up their ways We all crash and burn While they laugh on the waves
The waves She has had to build In order to try and save Her guild
But..........
History is Her mate And He comes to step in To wipe the slate clean And make Her new again

This is supposed to be the inner mind of a Politician. How they're always conjuring new ways to lay waste to the land we all live on. For profit, for more land, for pussy, for the next best brand of cigar....
I distorted the bottom somewhat to show how, of course, their line of thinking is diluted. The background image by Shoofly, though, is what really ties it all together, imo. The dilapidated trees, & the sacrificial stage just set it off. I threw away the floor, & added a hellish plan, because in reality that's all the White House is. I blurred the sides, but kept the center in focus because Politicians are one minded. Yet, after all the monstrosity they think up, after all the turmoil us very few survivors live through.....the Earth replenishes Herself. Justice will prevail, & the natural righteousness of things will be set right.
Eventually........Which is where the eggshell & sweat come in. History repeats itself, well fine. So be it. But at least there's comfort in knowing that so will She.
I like it except for two things: The room isn't centered, & I'm not comfortable with the perspective. ALL advice & criticism is welcomed & needed, unless all you have to say is negativity....in which case, you can find yourself on the same dock as that Politician that went down in the fire.
OMG! That was lightening fast! I was just editing for copyright purposes, & you tagged it so super fast! Lol!
Thanks a bunch LeAnne! That's a huge amount of support boost! I have no real idea what I'm doing, I swear! Any master will tell ya. I tried a tutorial for the room, but sometimes they leave stuff out, or I just don't understand, & so I take over. But thanks immensely!
Thanks a million! I used a texture for the overlay, & desaturated it, & think it tied all the coloring together.
To be honest with you, I was trying it out. I knew I wanted a texture involved, but didn't know it would have that effect. But, hey, now I do right? Lol!
There are a lot of themes that run through the stock gallery many people have similar ideas but they pull them off in different ways. In this series of newsletters we will look at similar ideas but different outcomes.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
