FLIGHT TO EGYPT
THERE WERE TWO SETS OF FOOTPRINTS
A BABY'S CRY
AND ARMED MEN LOOKING FOR A VICTIM
THERE WERE SHEPHERDS AND WISEMEN
A BABY'S CRY
AND ARMED MEN LOOKING FOR A VICTIM
THERE WAS FLIGHT THERE WAS PANIC
A BABY'S CRY
AND ARMED MEN LOOKING FOR A VICTIM
THERE WAS A GARDEN A KISS
A YOUNG MAN'S SIGH
AND ARMED MEN LOOKING FOR A VICTIM
THERE WAS A CROSS THERE WAS NIGHT
A YOUNG MAN'S CRY
AND ARMED MEN LOOKING FOR A VICTIM
THERE IS YOU THERE IS I
A NEED TO DEFY
THE ARMED MEN LOOKING FOR A VICTIM
AS CHRIST CAME ONCE HE COMES AGAIN
IF HE COMES NOW WOULD WE TRY
WOULD WE MAKE A SHIELD
OR JUST STAND BY
IGNORING FOOTSTEPS AND A BABY'S CRY
THE ARMED MEN AND THE VICTIM

I think I was thinking of the things that precipatated that flight. GOOD POINT THOUGH.
ReplyDeletevery nice poem frank, thank you. and powerful image to go with it. its nice to hear men speak such truth... as a woman when i do, men get very difensive and abusive to me, but when a man does it to his own group of hu-manity, they cannot fight back as swiftly. So thank you.
