In the court of clouds where silence spoke	A
God turned to Satan	B
Have you seen my servant Job	C
Blameless upright untouched by storm	D
And the serpent smiled	E
Strip him bare	F
And watch the truth emerge from flesh and dust	G
	-
This the seed of all we know	H
What if all we know	H
Was planted in soil not made for roots	I
What if certainty was only shadow	H
Thrown by a flickering flame	J
	-
We built our towers on the bones of thus says	K
Etched belief into blood	L
Taught the child to kneel	M
Before they asked why	N
And in our hunger for the sky	N
We forgot to read the earth	O
	-
Yet the earth remembers	P
	-
It remembers Job	C
Ash covered arguing with silence	Q
Not for loss but for meaning	R
He did not curse the sky	N
He questioned it	S
And in the question	B
Was the shape of change	T
	-
What is growth but the betrayal of ignorance	Q
What is evolution but love made bold	U
Enough to let go	H
Of what once was sacred	L
	-
We speak in tongues	V
Not only of angels	W
But of ancestry	X
Tribal tongues national songs	Y
Creeds that divide	Z
Skin that defines	A2
Flags that wave like gods	B2
	-
Brother turns from brother	C2
For worshiping another name	J
Of the same breath	D2
	-
Yet each war sings the same song	E2
This truth is mine alone	F2
And each peace whispers	P
We were never meant to be alone	F2
	-
Unity is not sameness	G2
Diversity is not dissonance	Q
Both are seasons	H2
In the orchard of becoming	R
Winter and spring	R
Obey both the sun	B
And the soil	I2
	-
We are made of both	J2
	-
And the Creator	C2
Not tethered to time	K2
But bending it	S
Waits	L2
	-
Waits not in temples	W
But in turning	R
Not in altars	P
But in awakening	R
	-
There s an Ogoni saying	R
You do not explain a parable	M2
To one born of its tongue	N2
For meaning given too soon	O2
Becomes a cage	P2
But meaning found	Q2
Becomes a path	R2
	-
Let the young find the fire	C2
Not in the telling	R
But in the burn	S2
And rise from it	S
Knowing	R
	-
So let us come down	T2
Down from the myths that made us cruel	M2
Down from the hills of inherited hate	U2
Down to earth	O
Where truth grows slow	H
But roots deep	V2
	-
Let us meet there	F
Not to be right	W2
But to be real	M
Not to conquer	C2
But to understand	X2
	-
Let the dust we are	Y2
Remind us of what we re not	Z2
And what we might yet become	A3
