Philio - Yes, it was meant to have a satirical feel to it..not too apparent, but still there...the part you quoted was kind of satirical..the viewpoint of the people of the revolution in general, who think now corruption is being torn down, there shall be no battles...like you'd expect them to say...

...spot on about the sands, tears and water thing...when i'm writing it, it just comes to my head as aprt of the essence and feel of the piece...so in a way, it's quite raw...cos it aint done in a technical sense...

so yeah, iw as concious of it...after you write for a while, you begin to link things together as you write, without fully thinking of the deeper meaning, yet knowing it still has one when you write it...just get caught up in the writing and the 'situation' or 'subject' you are talking about....something along those lines anyway...but you know what i mean?

Anyway..
