In The Garden



In The Garden

The clamor is loud and the cowardice is high
Among the Nations once again Jacob must strive
Is he the sole brave willing to stand for the knaves?
Once before he risked and wrecked the dangerous cave

Leaders with leaden treads bow and scrape before the Threat
One voice calls out but Luther’s heirs are the louder set
Revisiting the old story twisted to sound politically correct
The rejection of Jacob’s warning makes Eighty Eight the bet

The oath on Masada underlines what Jacob is prepared to do
All have too forgotten Samson who brought the building down rather than lose
But that’s not foremost for this time is not that time, it is the other
Where Jacob’s kin can once again act independent of another

Those standing for Liberty have once more shrunk in timidity
Reflection of a civilization in retreat as conviction turns to clay
Frills and ceremony is the pretense that now substance allays
But the death chants continue and the promises will betray
