Afraid of Truth, like Herod; “he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him”
At the birth of the one who has been born the king of the Jews.
We, who know where Christ would be born, remain where we are
Condoning in complicity the horrendous acts of genocide and torture
And then, counsel the poor to remain with peaceful protests.
When, those who do not know nothing beyond the stars foretold, embarked
On a perilous and long journey, we remain in our secure hide outs
Complacent and basking in our religiosity and sharing in the spoils of the beast
Remaining incognito the little child of Bethlehem still rules to “beat
Swords into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks; of the increase of his
Government and of peace there will be no end.”
In faithfulness to him, Christileaks we should become, making public
The secrets in high places, and the enigma of God’s rule and its healing and ostracizing power
Subverting and turning upside down the designs of the beast.
Thomas John
