Empires of Fire
Pyramid at the top
Pharaohs sky empires build
All for the same reason
Cleopatra’s passion kiss
In the vineyard
Sowers plant dreams
No one tills Jerusalem
Not even for a palm
All around empty space spread
Rolls and rolls of void unfold
Yet none is for a Samaritan
To lay a carpet for the Lord
River banks culture plutocrats
Who breed too fast in tears
Monsters they all become
In the laps of Persephone
JESUS, LORD
No powers remain impregnable
In the gentleness
