To heal the Black Canyon
A flashback on the Hoover Dam
Turning weird waves into WATTS,
igniting hopes of a nation,
making a dusty valley,
into a soothing greenfield.
It's Engineers who saw the breakthrough,
to bring impossibility to a reality,
like concrete of the Dam,
that teamwork was rock-solid,
was strengthening day by day,
from ironic hands of the workers.
When wicked waves try,
to destroy that bond,
The Dam stands still,
as a proud giant.
The spirit of the souls,
who gave lives with no fear,
to see this in their eyes,
will keep healing the Dam,
with forever blowing wind.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.
