Be vigilant. The dark is coming.
'Stay silent' he said. They almost listened.
'Wrap yourself in the coldness
of our words' and in his voice was
a touch of danger.
They almost fell. Almost gave in.
The world became like a glacier
of shapes. Always seeking to fit
within the assorted mess of notions
and opinions.
'Forget grace' they told us.
'Praise hate' they commanded us.
'Love death' they spoke in unison.
But... we are not a wall to be broken
down on your insistence.
We are not a voice to be calmed
just because you think you are a storm.
Should we be silent against the false
preachers of lies and guile? Or
are we going to stand firm, each
life a block against the tides of
stoic insistence?
We will not shame ourselves any longer.
Our voice will be like God's own voice.
Our rhythm will fall into truth.
Our form will fly into the sky,
abandoning your need to satisfy the
greedy and lazy digits of material
plains of death and destruction.
Ah... tell us to shut up one more time.
See then how loud our words can go.
