YESTERDAY


yesterday, it was  only a grain of sand, now a heap;
people call it a monument.
inscribed therein was a  name of a prophet.



yesterday there were only yes and no, now there's maybe, tattooed in your arm;
written on the ground.


yesterday,  a drop or two of of your sanctified oil can be tasted;
that was grand;
everyone came and feasted. 
now's a  famine,rust eating away what's left.


all your Gods have  forsaken the land,
everyone's dead, going gone,
only a monument 's left , standing haughtily on the ground..
