Ariel Besieged

Speak to me from the ground
O Ariel, besieged
You have been brought low
By the hand of One
You once called "Beloved"
Speak, Ariel
Your voice ghostlike
Whispering out of the dust
His strategy was impenetrable
His siege works,
Year to year,
Crushed.

I hear thunder, loud clashes that echo in the stillness of this muggy, humid night, thirsty for rain, soon quenched, the hammer of Thor strikes like the flogging of a condemned man, back broken, besieged
The earth cannot hold back it's excitement at my coming...it shakes and quakes and re-arranges itself giving no consideration to the masses displaced on a whim
Behold, it's EARTHQUAKES I prophecy.
A great noise
Awesome ear-blistering cacophony the likes of which have not been heard
Loud and bottom heavy, windstorm and tempest.
Flames of devouring fire.
Their intensity
Demands to be taken seriously
And so shall it be, amen, Selah and Shalom
These flames, this whole Apocalypse Now set-up
It's for all those you call "enemy"
Ariel
It's for all those who call you "enemy"
Ariel,
But woe to you
I have already crushed them into fine dust
Like chaff blown by the wind
(But no answer there, my friend)
The ruthless hordes have scattered.
And the word came down:
You who fight against my altar hearth
Stunned, amazed
Sightless, for you will blind yourselves
Drunk and staggering
But the wine and beer are not to be blamed
This euphoria is straight from the one they once called Yahweh
Who has now sealed the eyes of the prophets
And covered the heads of the seers
