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
