FLIGHT TO EGYPT


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

  3. very 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.
