Know it now
That you may understand it when

 

The children of Evat Maru

The Starfire Children

The hunted Children

Come into the World

And yes they are coming

As sure as the pulse in your neck

As certain as the Sun which now lingers

on the far side of the World

As gentle

and terrible

And unstoppable

As the Dawn

 

Do not lift you hand

against the Sky

You can not hold the Darkness

in its place

What have you to fear

 

One Day you will hold out money

to that the child

Who does not think twice

About using it as a tool

and only a tool

Who looks at your character

instead of your clothes

One who

Looks at your hands to see

if you've labored honestly

Looks deeper into your soul

Deeper than you ever have

And you will know them

What have you to fear

 

They are the anti Alex

Anti Bullshit

Anti Yuppie

Starfire Children

 

What have you to fear

William C. Burns, Jr. (Bill) was born in Washington DC, circa the early fifties, which puts him on the trailing edge of the beautiful generation (remember the Hippies? OK for those of you too young to remember, how bout Shaggy from Scooby Doo?). Raised in West Virginia in and around the rolling hills and glens of Charleston, he moved to South Carolina in 1984 with his wife and three children.
