Dry Bones

All may be dry bones Lives wasted by proxy through phones Beauty in reality unknown to zombies and drones More hearts and minds impermeable like stones Wilfully enlisted in the swarming army of clones Be free to soar not coalesce in pre-set zones Rebel and repel those sitting high on idle thrones A negative paradigm shift humanity condones Under the weight of pain and suffering mankind groans To realise it's the absence of love world bemoans Open ears and soul to truth of compassion not false tones Seek the fellow in the mellow for love he freely loans Lest all remain nought but dry bones
