Western urban sprawl

In the absence of God.....forbidden?

Faith and belief overridden

Adonai blamed, Lucifer chortles, smirks

For it is they who willingly conduct his works

From the burgeoning populace comes a faint cry

Out of suburbia into the sky

At a forest of truth they do stare

Unwilling to see what is already there

Once Lady Liberty now a towering shrew

Virtue a facade easily seen through

Too occupied to hear the crow numbered three

Or was it drowned out by tranquility

The absence of support as He stands aside

Acid rain tears bathe decimated mountainside

Factions banter the obtuse and semantics

Whilst anemic members wax sycophantic

Thrushes and thrushes, thrusts and thrusts

Crashes, the crashes, bust after bust

Bashes and bashes, gashes upon gashes,

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Absolute truth? Wanderlust
