Trouble in Vision Valley

22 This is a message about Vision Valley:[a]

Why are you celebrating
on the flat roofs[b]
    of your houses?
Your city is filled
    with noisy shouts.
Those who lie drunk
in your streets
    were not killed in battle.

Footnotes

  2. 22.1 flat roofs: In Palestine the houses usually had a flat roof. Stairs on the outside led up to the roof, which was made of beams and boards covered with packed earth.
