The journey home – a lament
Like some troublesome
Subterranean bindweed
There’s one response: Out
Dig deep, uproot the
Damnéd growth ‘til its evil
Intent lies naked
For the world to gaze
Upon and weep at its own
Reflection and mourn
For an Eden lost
Our collective mind estranged
Will we journey home?
Gaza bruised, Hamas,
Unbearable to all your
People locked in pain
Jerusalem, drenched
With Messiah tears, your chicks
Still to be gathered
