Persecution of Christians in Middle East

Response to violenceSlide5
Two rows of men
walked the shore of the sea,
on a day when the
world’s tears would run free.
One a row of
assassins, who
thought they did
right, the other of
innocents, true sons of the light. Slide6
One holding knives
in hands held high,
The other with
hands empty,
defenceless and tied.
One row of slits to
conceal glaring-
dead eyes,
The other with living eyes raised to the skies. Slide7
One row stood
steady, pall-bearers of death,
The other knelt
ready, welcoming
heaven’s breath.
One row spewed
wretched,
contemptible threats, the other
spread God-given peace and rest. Slide8
A Question…
Who fears the other?
The row in orange, watching paradise open?
Or the row in black, with minds evil and broken?
