Review # 1 was written on 2019-03-09 00:00:00 Cindy Pigg "Dam piled high, you are the same age as me. You split up lovers. They dumped you into the way of the mighty river. You have blocked the life-flow of water. Behind you it has built up and drowned half our land. The river is good like its people, but the dam confined the water in a huge lake. The water swelled up like boiling milk, and as it rose it swallowed up half the green valley and destroyed it. It drowned lines of palm trees and polluted the sweet water. It ruined the time of peace and purity. We moved out, leaving behind our cool spacious houses for cramped sweltering ones that hung on the side of the mountain like carbuncles. We crowded in on the scorpions, and they crowded in on us. We chased away the snakes, and they came back and surrounded us. The wolf's howl echoed deep in our ears: 'Beware, you are too close to my territory.' We drowned in the murky yellow of the mountain and our hearts longed for the bright yellow sand of our own land, for the higher sands were barren and brought forth neither a stalk of corn nor a clump of green. They bred only scorpions and kept the rattlesnakes and vipers warm." (from "The River People")
