A voice crying in the wilderness


There is a voice crying in the wilderness

standing atop the salt petre slabs

distilled from tears shed over time

tears shed in anguish


There is a voice crying in the wilderness 

Peering out from the hulk

Of abandoned private jets

Sitting out their lives amid the dunes and scorching sun


There is a voice crying in the wilderness

There are wolves howling at the moon

There are owls wailing forlornly in the dusk that never ends


There is a voice crying in the wilderness

Asking what shall it all profit a man?
