There was an event a year or two ago where people re-lit beacons right along Hadrian's Wall. Rather epic. :)
Aaah I see. Nice. ;)

Why I Am Mad

A lot of folk write poems
About death and war and love
And how the stars watch over them
From darkened skies above.

They say they're like the sunlight
A swan, a dove, the moon
That flies and dances gracefully
And finds its lover soon.

It's all in one direction,
A path to Timbuktu,
Where fate guides people ever on,
They think they find the truth.

However.

So I will not say I am like the sunlight.
Or a dove.
Or the moon.

Instead I will say
That I am like a manatee playing an occarina.

Unsightly.


Ridiculous.



Impossible.




But brilliant.

The Metal Angel

There wasn't much left;
It was almost too late.
The gunfire ever rattled on,
The cries of bitter hate.

Bursting forth from clear skies,
With desert sand below,
And ragged people fighting for
Our ruler's overthrow.

Dishevelled and defeated,
We didn't stand a chance.
'til streaks of blinding flame destroyed
Our enemy's advance.

We didn't all quite make it,
Yet loved that blinding flash
For what man lives and hopes to see
His child and wife in ash?

I sit with eyes alert still,
As evening light grows dim,
And ponder how we now live on
The metal angel's whim.
I am Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And I have come to you now, at the turning of the tide...

I like it. I've never been very good at topical poetry, myself. I can rarely just sit down and write about something specific. But this is good, I like the imagery used.
