Sacred Spaces

The spaces once held sacred are destroyed Like Salisbury plain where sheep could safely graze Now for soldiers use and practice Wars The Bedouin who inhabit deserts cry The Negev is no longer a free space The places for creation are destroyed Before the birth of Christ, they wandered by Their little tents and camels no disgrace Deserts are for practising new Wars To shepherds and their flocks we say,Good bye. The land is used for shooting, so debased The places for creation are destroyed The Lamb of God is fined and unemployed Search for peace, be treated with distaste Deserts are for practising new Wars Of the Spirit, is there any trace As the Lord God turns away his Face? The spaces once held sacred are destroyed Now for soldiers use and Final War.
