THIEVES
Poem By: Dr. Billy Alsbrooks
The echo
An illusion of thieves
How many days have been stolen?
Where is the breath of your mind going?
The illusion of thieves
A mere echo of the burning God
A mere echo of the burning God
___________________________
The shadow
The city we became
How many moments have been stolen?
Where is the blood of your mind going?
The awareness of thieves
A mere shadow of the burning God
A mere shadow of the burning God
___________________________
For whom the bell tolls
How many steps are too far?
I said, from whom the bell tolls
How many steps are too far?
___________________________
The voice
The words that we became
How many dreams have been stolen?
Who told the trumpets to stop blowing?
The denial of thieves
A mere whisper of the burning God
A mere whisper of the burning God
___________________________
The vision
The sight that we became
How many hopes have been stolen?
Is your star still glowing?
The ignoring of thieves
A mere wink from the burning God
A mere wink from the burning God
