The Prophets Will Groan
The Prophets will groan
Under the weight of it all
"It’s getting worse
It’s getting worse"
Will be their laborious refrain
"And still you aren’t listening."
They will offer a prayer
(Spoken from God, to us, to God)
A warning and request
"It doesn’t have to be this way."
Their message, a still small flame,
Heat and light that cuts through darkness
God, cut into us now
You are embodied in every human flesh
And still, we aren’t listening.
