"The demons lord and roam the island"
Hell, not where the mother is, but what the baby will come to. Hell is not the Hell most of us think of, but a metaphor of a bad place.
"Bridges burnt by the princes of ligh"
the Purgatory. Princes of light is the nuclear weapons or at least a flaming war.
"The totem pole bows to the wind"
People are ready to change their way of believing in their god or gods if it gain themself.. The god is almost everytime a symbol of life and all that exist.
"As the sands dance with the sea"
Two opposites (life for one, death for another and vice versa). But now, they are mostly the same. You know, like the the Flood.
"The baby kicks,the breast is bitter
The baby wails,the milk is sour"
The mothers life is taken away. Her body, her shell is the only thing left. The mother may be earth, the baby may the the poeple of eart. And maybe the mother died when she borned the baby. Many says that humanity will be it own's destructor.
"And as they come to take her away
She imagines it was all in vain.."
This is what doesn't fit in in my reasoning. It may be the god. But, I don't know..
Well, nice written, David! I hope you'll get the entry!!!
