Jesus wept
And Jesus protested
Jesus would not reach bethlehem
This year, for his ceremonial birth
Marry and Joseph would have
To make other plans for this year
The promised landscape has changed
Emotion has fed of hate, full to the belly
And peace is a foreign word
Never heard of, in this land
The bible is back on the editors desk
Typos to be edited, it was rushed to print
A few incoherent stories
And lines to be omitted
Someone went back into time
And built a wall to block pilgrim's path
The star is in the wrong directional location
For Marry and Joseph can not reach
The three wise men without GPS
To navigate their way around the wall of jericho
So the good bible will have to be edited
For religion to make sense again
All because someone decided to
Build a wall and block pilgrim's path
Jesus would not reach bethlehem
This year for his ceremonial birth
Marry and Joseph would have to
Make other plans for this year
#Its the season to rejoice in
#la la la la laaa la la la laaa
Is there a significance to referring to Mary as merry within the poem?
ReplyDeleteYou didn't answer but I can see you have corrected, just a typo then. This is an interesting piece, very emotive. I am wondering now who the pilgrims would be.
ReplyDeleteIt took me two years to answer. It was a typo and thanks for making me aware of it.
