Are We but Obscure Lines in Ezekiel?

 

Maybe we are doing time along the Chebar

But we are not in Babylonian captivity

Only in the captivity of our choices:

We fouled our own endeavors, our own lives

 

We banned and burned our books, our music, our art

Upon the orders of megaphone fuhrers

Sacrificing Truth on their altars of fear

We abandoned duty and found ourselves alone

 

Dry bones, dry bones in a desert of despair

But, shush – what is that Sound from over there…?
