                       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…?
