Dry Bones
All may be dry bones
Lives wasted by proxy through phones
Beauty in reality unknown to zombies and drones
More hearts and minds impermeable like stones
Wilfully enlisted in the swarming army of clones
Be free to soar not coalesce in pre-set zones
Rebel and repel those sitting high on idle thrones
A negative paradigm shift humanity condones
Under the weight of pain and suffering mankind groans
To realise it's the absence of love world bemoans
Open ears and soul to truth of compassion not false tones
Seek the fellow in the mellow for love he freely loans
Lest all remain nought but dry bones
