City of Ghosts

We are the city,
                whose walls guard the graves of ghosts.
The drumbeat echoing beneath our feet,
                tells of zombie minds strolling the streets.

Yet now is our time
                for dreamers, and believers!

To scale the enemies walls,
                fighting the forgotten ghosts.
Goliath guards our city walls,
                enslaving an unborn generation.

Now we hear the trumpet call,
                begging faithful tremblers to whisper once more.
Jericho’s walls will stand no more
                while the forgotten ones call to their Lord.

This is our cities hour.
                The saints look on in jealousy.
To stand within the ranks that you command.
                The end of history beckons,
                               to the children marching on bleeding knees.

For the time before time,
                 begs to come home.
To see the slaves who defend our gates,
                  bow to another King.

You broken ones,
suicidal ones,
helpless ones,
and lonely ones.

Wait until the leaves fall off the trees.
                Then this ghostly city will turn to ash.
While a city of dead men comes back to life.


The oldest revolution is on the way to hit your shores.

A Change of Wine

In they walked as boys and girls,
They carried pains, they carried scares.
They stood like lambs among the wolves
The shout of hope was whispered now.

Yet as they stood and as they sang,
They heard the ancient whisper cry
Of a love so strong that hate would die
And a peace so sweet that none would cry.

Some jumped who could not jump before,
Some laughed who could but cry before,
Some danced who lied in chains before.

Yet eternity did tremble,
When some fell in love with love itself
Who did not know this love before.

And now you men and women,
We pray you won’t lose your love,
But that the streets would glow forever bright
So stand up for hope, when none may stand.
