Array ( [sid] => 127240 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Ask The Dead. [time] => 2006-10-22 09:43:56 [hometext] => COME OUT FROM BABYLON:(Revelation 18:4 -5) “Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives! Do not be destroyed because of her sins (cosmic treason)...” (Jeremiah 51:6) [bodytext] => Ask The Dead.

Do you hear their message?
No, not the politically corrected parroting of the living,
Rather the counsel of the shades.
They lay buried while standing for life,
for heroic purpose,
for needed dissention.
They call out as shadows with stilled voices.
Unheard by the herd unless by reflection
No corruption from the corrupt,
rather the viable but grave advice
coming now more often from the ground
swelling,
up to those in ivory houses,
in their circled towers of resolution.
Standing for their principles, but not their principals.
Holding fast to ghouls that too have died, or should have?
With shades of grave we send our message.
Do you hear us?
Have we a voice?
Have we not earned one?
Can you hear above the babble
Is it then but of Babylon
of another Babylonia?

Ask The Dead.

Do you hear their message?
No, not the politically corrected parroting of the living,
Rather the counsel of the shades.
They lay buried while standing for life,
for heroic purpose,
for needed dissention.
They call out as shadows with stilled voices.
Unheard by the herd unless by reflection
No corruption from the corrupt,
rather the viable but grave advice
coming now more often from the ground
swelling,
up to those in ivory houses,
in their circled towers of resolution.
Standing for their principles, but not their principals.
Holding fast to ghouls that too have died, or should have?
With shades of grave we send our message.
Do you hear us?
Have we a voice?
Have we not earned one?
Can you hear above the babble
Is it then but of Babylon
of another Babylonia?

I imagine in some distant future through upheavals, loss and gain some devoted exo-foresinc ethnographic philologist will find an unexpected viable snapshot of this website and after wading through the many wonders, delights and babbling brook of verse this educated future person will read your words and feel a consciousness of kind. They will be renewed by your well pronounced questions and answer "Yes" publishing boldly, "Yes we hear you, you have a voice." As we ask the same of our futures we would also do well to listen to the shades well beyond Babylon, I suspect,. in turn.

Peace

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
