But I do. What they show on the news....it's so much worse. Fires are swallowing big parts of Greece. Peloponnisos is burning, so is Euvoia. The body count so far is 41 but I'm sure it will reach more than 100 by nightfall.

People have been calling for help encircled by fire, and I don't get it, I want the motive behind the arsons, this goes way beyond real estate.

I want the arsonists to die. Slowly. Horribly.

Oh, I mourn.

Villages have burnt down. The wind isn't helping and new arsons happen again and again. If they keep on like that in a few weeks there'll be nothing left to burn.

It's as if hellmouths have opened and swallowed us whole, and it would have been comforting if it had been demons, not actually humans that have done this...this...this...holocaust.

And I don't give a shit how politicians declare it a national tragedy, national mourn day, those are empty words that burn too, they should have nipped everything at the bud, not trying to save what can't be saved now.

Because there has been a heatwave and everything is crisp and burns so easily, and now there are strong winds and the fires are raging.

Dear god, I somehow doubt that you exist.

I mourn and I rage and I feel helpless and I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.

Last night I was looking at the mountain line across the lake opposite my house. I was watching fire rage on the top and on the back. I never thought I'd see that sight. I don't want to see that sight again. My part of the country has been one that has suffered only slightly and I pray that it remains so, but oh god. The rest...the rest...it's beyond human logic. It's just...It's just disaster. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I don't know what to do. I want to help and I don't know what to do and I think I'm terrified by all this loss.

And I mourn.
