Jesus Spoke Aramaic To The Children Of Israel
Jesus Spoke Aramaic to the Children of Israel
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
Christ
the Palestinian
Fell hard
Smashed
To the
ground
Condemned
He was born
Through his
death
To life eternal
Awaiting all
Who
Believe
In Love
Christ the Arab
Is Jesus
Incarnate
Traveler to distant
Lands returned
To
preach and pray
He made his way
Along
Palestinian
Pathways fated
To be tortured
To die
the sun
Hit his eye
In the scorching
Heat he was
beat
By Occupiers
Worked over good
Flesh
lashed
Until slashed
The trap
Waited
A
trial
For the Judean
King he denied
Land was the
prize
But rather
The Kingdom within
Flesh
torn
He was shorn
For the kill
A Palestinian
man
Aramaic his brand
Of talk nails pierced
Hands
and feet
Sword thrust
Into his heart beat
His is a
Path
To the grave
Replayed and replayed
Through
death
You are saved
Tell the Palestinians
As they
stumble
To their Crucifixion
Do this in memory
Of
me He said
As he broke the bread
In Communion
With
the suffering
Of the
world
ENDS
