Dangerous Reverberations
Ominous sounds,
tremors felt underneath the feet
Moving all of the idols
Would they warn the people
if they could speak?
Echoes from the past,
dangerous reverberations
Nothing man made ever last,
no kingdoms ... no nations
Perilous noise,
the air filled with violent vibrations
Vicious vortex with an evil eye,
look to demolish everything in sight
Where will the idols hide;
would they tell others to follow,
lead them to safety if they could talk?
Mute are their emotions,
deadened to the downtrodden’s pain and suffering
The cries of the pitiful fall on their deaf ears
Idols without compassion never hear
Dangerous reverberations,
echoes from the past
In the valley of dark shadows,
the dire warning sounds always do return —
But will man ever listen and learn?
