Motorway To Damascus
Rentals

Daybreak on the motorway to Damascus

A heavenly angel flagged me down and

asked for a ride into town

For God's sake, on the motorway to

Damascus

This heavenly angel, wise and pure,

proceeded with a guided tour:

Behold! A shining city of silver grey and white,

Of solar-panelled rooftops glinting in the light

And wind-power generators turning

soundlessly through the night

Mid-day on the motorway to Damascus

The heavenly angel flapped its wings and

told me more exciting things

Like how one day this motorway to Damascus

Would disappear without trace, the

unsustainable replaced

Behold! The new New Forest in four

hundred shades of green

Stretching out before us where it always

should have been

A botanical thesaurus for as far the eye can see

Nightfall on the motorway to Damascus

The heavenly angel looked at me and said

Well, what's it gonna be?

The long haul, or the shorter way to Damascus?

Choose with care and you will find that one

day there will come a time

When the silhouetted ruin of the

crumbling cooling towers

Are but ivy-clad reminders of a

long-forgotten power

Must the monkeys leave Gibraltar's rock

and ravens flee the Tower

Before we look and see ourselves for what

we really are?
