More and more you build
temples of stone.
Everywhere,
hewing rocks of the earth,
you set about your project:
But,
do you see -
that small bit of rock
would be enough, more
effective for Me to manifest,
all of a fist’s size,
this your hardened heart?
What would God's response be, to the hectic monument building ongoing everywhere in the world today, when cruelty to fellow man is rising every day?

'Houses of the holy' is the name of a Led Zeppelin album containing some of my favourite songs - there's no direct connection though, except that I thought this title is apt for describing my piece!
