Poem
I thought I heard a strange sound Coming from under the ground I looked around but all I see Were squirrels running up the tree And a man across the street Talking on the phone telling His wife that he is coming home I heard a sharp giggle but nothing Was visible the sun has burnt the color out of the sky And the moon and the stars were standing by What mystery lies in the street? What miracle awaits us in the deep? The trees are silent and the walls are broken And the empire is shaken, the fortified walls around the city is gone And the angry lions have entered the lawn They have ripped up the grass around it And park a truck in between it How much longer shall we wait here? When the naked reality is staring at me And the deity is walking beside me I have chosen to take this path One that will lead me out of the dark I have travelled a thousand miles to get here And I will not leave in fear I will complete what I come to do and open the Avenue so that the people can go through Everyone must leave the city Before the sun goes down and Cover your face and your crown for the dust bowl is coming to town There is no more song to sing And everyone is moving the earth will shake and the heavens will break The city has lost its luster and dust and Muds have defaced the building And the happy people stops singing They have left under cover in the dark To join the mass on the other side of the city footsteps walking on the street with strength Determination and power, feet stepping with heavy emotions bundle together and moving towards the Egyptian border a million strong holding the candle of peace in their hand and each whispering a silent song They are looking for a permanent place to call home And peaceful city where they can roam, everyone huddle together marched in the city and held strong to their dignity Footsteps of courage move with time, footsteps of freedom walking in line Footsteps of peace marched into the square Footsteps of love are standing there. Footsteps of Joy has conquered their fear
