"the answer my friend is blowing in the wind
the answer is blowing in the wind..." Bob Dylan
What of a Breeze Blowing
What of a breeze blowing
Around the Earth, circling
Gathering songs and words,
Rains and snows
Pictures and scenes
Of things new and old
Old and new
Over and over
Again and again.
Thoughts swirl amongst the cyclones,
Whirling sounds of wailing sorrows
Of ideas left upon a whisper
Into a night's dream lover
Hidden under the cover of shame and regret.
Oh, the loss of the greatest: The Answer to all questions
Because of fear and judgement
While those of high regard, keep stirring the wind
With their verbose rantings of superiority and all knowledge.
What of a breeze becoming a storm, raging around the world
Waging wars, gathering robotic marching,
Mindless soldiers without ears or tears
Spreading lies and thrashing bodies,
Bloodying sacred lands with decaying ancient heresies
Drowning truth in the slaughter of the innocent
As the lambs are thrown down to the wolves
Stripped of their wool and ripped from their heads
What of a mighty wind exploding all the Earth
Into flying flaming bolders,
And mountain tops spiraling into the heavens
Becoming meteors like volcanos bursting forth like lava
Molten fire of hell, creating mighty rushing bellows of fire
Dancing high to the moon screaming defiantly for its rights
to own the universe.
And as the Sun looks upon it all, it melts in the sight of pure hatred emerging from the ignorance and piety
Brought on by a band of mindless, robotic, marching soldiers
Singing songs and speaking words of the ancient heresies of Slaughter, drowning the truth, and feeding lies to those of High Regard, as was taught by their Prophet of Old.
All the while the breeze gathered the sounds and carried them around the world,
Circling around and around and no one stopped it.
They hid The Answer because of fear and judgement by the Supreme Leaders.
And the Sun Melted and The Universe Crashed.
No breeze blew
No sound was heard
No judgement was made
And all that was left was Ash.
Until the Trumpets Sounded...
What of a breeze blowing...
