The Holy Desert
Posted: April 7th, 2017, 5:08 pm
Kids play with plastic again,
tweak detonators, go to church.
God fights God in the last scene.
Gun runners making a killing.
Munitions from Moscow.
Rockets from the free world.
Laundered cash from Riyadh.
Training camps in Bahrain.
We will own the holy land.
We can't be saved otherwise.
The land of sacred brutality,
bombed-out holy suburbs.
Prophets knew this desert well.
False gods, cities in desolation,
fathers destroyed, children lost.
Ezekiel in a valley of dry bones.
The desert is too quiet.
You hear fossils scream
on its bleak, deadly breath.
God is in whirlwinds.
