Died on cross… he bore our sins
Daughters still weep... sonatas
in a world where greed still wins
Mothers and their infants
forced… into fuel, food poverty
Existing in the shadows,
cold and hungry… Calvary
Isn’t it as shameful...
we now turn our gaze away?
When Father’s will is broken
by the tyranny of our day
Working… till their fingers bleed
but the blood’s not of their hands
Surely we should intercede
when humanity demands
Look at… Ukraine, Haiti,
Palestine and speared Iran
Crown of thorns… growing weighty,
when some act like Castellans
Millions... on brink of famine
No loaves, fishes have to share
Murdered... our native children
Grief enshrouds... does anyone care?
Africans... refugeed through coups
So many globally displaced
Father... they know what they do!
Xinjiang internments... a disgrace!
Neo-Judas... they’re our brothers,
fighting racists, atrocities
No better than Pontius Pilate
Sisters deprived... equality!
No one’s expecting saintly,
but in ignorance… we’re entombed
So let’s roll away stonewalling
Let grace, love’s empathy... break through
This Easter...give to others
We've ample blessings… no sacrifice!
Rise above… tend those who suffer
Save persecuted… still crucified
Blood on hands... it is our own,
when global family... they bleed
So stand for peace, for fairness!
Carve new world… where ALL are free!
