Not Wholly
"If blood could speak
or souls would seek
the meaning of it all"
^^^^^^
spirits sinking low
dancing on thick walls
sipping shakes of liberty
spewing out cat calls
have we no integrity
no common sense at all
to care just a little bit
for those gone down those halls
halls of searing sacrifice
lives 'spent' in highest hopes
now... all too oft' forgotten
as we ride our shallow dreams
^^^^^^
"Blood does speak out
yet we have no ear to hear
souls do seek...
yet not
wholly"
"Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house."
Ezekiel 12:2
