To Rise Again

 

Events in the Holy Land have been repeated,

as the innocents have yet again been cheated.

Instead of a Roman occupation,

there has been an Israeli occupation.

The Holy Innocents have been slaughtered,

and their parents massacred and their homes routed.

Once again Christ suffers with his people's plight,

as he too was abused and wounded in their sight.

Now amidst the ruins and misery of desolation

we shall witness the power of the resurrection.

They have killed many souls who will rise again

as their rightful cause will emerge from the ashes from where they have lain.

Faith and persevereance have claimed their victory,

as these two qualities defy any infamy.
