Matthew 2:18
“A voice was heard in Ramah,
weeping and loud lamentation,
Rachel weeping for her children;
she refused to be comforted, because they are no more.”
*
The pointless murders of our youth –
The weeping mothers’ calls –
The heartache, pain, and mourning vast –
You see and hear them all?
*
We sit in our desperate shape,
In utter filth and shame.
Blood covering our little ones.
Who can and do we blame?
*
Where did we stray? Where do we go?
Who does these hateful deeds?
Who mends our broken hearts with hope?
Who knows to fill our need?
*
Oh God, please hear our dire pleas.
Our wounds and pains attend.
Our world in darkness cries for you.
Bring light! Make darkness end!
Let me know what you think
