Water on the Moon

Water on the moon.
Blood on the earth.
Tears on the Throne.
We are not alone.

Listen to that sound:
A Word spoken loud.
But not for the proud.

A Word speaking Truth for
A world needing proof, but
which remains too aloof
to look past the moon
and into that room
where moons are made
and blood is shed
to wake the dead.

  2. Nice one, Professor. Nice wordplay and assonance. The third stanza especially caught my attention, imaginatively evoking Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians 1 and Romans 1.

    Is it my imagination, or am I picking up on some jazz rhythms here?
