warm jesus,
holy jesus,
baby to the world...
starving
children,
aching
children,
babies
of the world...
gentle jesus,
mary's jesus,
resting deep in wait ...
dying children,
our
children,
moaning
as they wait
swaddled by the night's protection,
cradled drowsy at the breast;
helpless to what lay before him,
victim of his humanness...
shivering, shaking
in the darkness,
racked by pain
and hopelessness;
feeble hands reach
out for comfort,
grasping
withered, empty breasts.
wandering jesus,
hunted jesus,
oracle of love...
our jesus,
mystery jesus,
exiled out of fear...
suffering children,
desert children,
mirrors of despair...
our
children,
battered children,
wasted by the world.
jesus, jesus,
human jesus,
fugitive for us...
jesus, jesus,
human jesus,
bleeding in our arms.
