Hollow Ones

In their hollow shell of being
they have lost the art of seeing
gift of life that simply is.

In the absence of the Spirit
they are not disposed to hear it:
Word of God that says "just be".

Grows the lust of humankind.
Stuff to fill our empty minds.
It's the quest of Hollow Ones.

Hollow! Hollowed be thy name
  when you're known by all your rivals.
Hollow! Hollowed be thy fame
  when you've sold a million platters.
Hollow! Hollowed be thy game
  when you've climbed the highest ladder.
Hollow! Hollowed be thy claim
  to possessions that don't matter.

In their hollow shell of being
they have lost the art of seeing
gift of life that simply is.

In the absence of the Spirit
they are not disposed to hear it:
Word of God that says "just be".
