A Prophetic Call

There is a need to speak, we must act
we must stand, as Ezekiel’s call
no matter the discomfort
We are to speak, to shout
to say no to power
to dissent of the silent injustice
the unspoken conflicts
the silent demons stalking
gathering hearts, complacent
weak hearts of the peoples
buying the pablum, the bile
the soup of evil
the insidious silence
continuing the injustice
the hopelessness remaining
if the powerful can conquer
to stand on their neighbors
carving up the peoples
in the haves and have nots
lost in the mire
the truth of the muck.
