SONGS OF BABYLON – POEM 3

AND I TOO AM FROM BABYLON

And I too am from Babylon

Another voice was heard to say

But Babylon is close at hand

And this is Judgment Day.

And now awake I think I see

Other souls are crying, calling

Searching out my Mother’s love

I know my soul is mourning.

New awake from the shovelled soil

My spirit struggles free

Hundreds of others are there here

To claim a destiny.

Do not affright those living now

Other whispering spirits say

We have woken fearingly

For this is Judgment Day.

Urgent round the dark sky dreaming

Souls now released are gathered near

Children standing pure and stilled

Pure justice lost shall reappear.
