The Prophet from Nazareth

  • Print
Imagine he were here today
Wandering the hills of Galilee,
The streets of Jerusalem,
Meeting with all he finds:
Christian and Muslim, Arab and Israeli
Weeping tears as blood drips into shared soil,
But fearless in what he says.

How dare you - ignore the law,
Disregard the prophets’ challenge,
Even reject what I taught.
You do so at your peril,
Risking disaster and devastation.
Woe betide you all!
But keep listening – there’s still time.
