I Was In A Dream
But Was Conscious In The Spirit
And The Spirit Of The Lord Led Me
To The Peak Of A Rocky Hill
In The Midst Of A Vast Desolation
No Vegetation, No Habitation
Only Ruins On A Dusty Terrain
With Hanging Webs Dangling
Across The Ruins
The Wind Boisterously Blew Across
Raising Incessant Clouds Of Dust
As It Whistled Past
Then Came Out Of The Ruins
Two Embattled Men, Naked To Their Skin
Tussling And Wrestling
Hitting, Beating And Biting Each Other
In All Savagery
Letting Blood And Breaking Bones
Exhausted, One Of Them Fell Down
And Like A Beast,
The Other Fell Over Him,
Pulling At His Genital With The Teeth
He Bit And Cut It Off
And For A Moment
He Shewed And Pleasurably Swallowed
In Agonizing Pain The Victim Wallowed
In The Pool Of His Own Blood
And Gave Up The Ghost
Notwithstanding, The Living Wrapped His Body
Around That Of The Dead
And Using His Legs To Propel
He Skidded The Dead Body
Through The Rocks And Shrapnel
Bruising, Cutting And Tearing
Till It Became Just A Mass Of Flesh
He Got Off The Messy Mass
And Began To Dance And Shout
In A Strange Frenzy Of Bestiality
Then, Appeared In The Sky
And As They Began To Rove
Over The Sordid Scene
I woke Up From the Dream
With Little Understanding
But Much Trepidation Of Heart
The Burden Of The Dream
Weighed Me Down For Days
As I Probed In The Spirit
Then I Received Understanding
Of The Fouling And Defiling
Of The Annihilation And Desolation
Then A Swam Of Beast
Of The Land, This Land
Its Habitation By Demonic Spirits
That Haunt High Places
Turning Men Created Of God, Into Beasts
Then I Heard The Voice In My Spirit,
‘The Wickedness Of The Wicked
Shall Utterly Consume The Wicked
Of The Land, This Land.’
Judge These Beasts,
To Redeem The Land …..
I Received Grace To Believe
And To Obey
So, I Began To Judge The Beasts
For The Redemption Of The Land
This Land!
