Strange Advent
Reading Time: 2 minutes
'But Jesus said, “Suffer the little children,and forbid them not,to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.' - Matthew19:14 Have you not heard? Christmas has been cancelled. There’s to be no celebration, and no meeting and greeting, during the Covid season. So,go tell the wise men, In their four-wheeled drives: they can go home to Persia, for the family they are seeking, have been lost along the way. Fortunately –or not, they found the means, via greedy eager men – so very happy to help – only needing to be paid, to help them on their way. So,the refugee family – fleeing from danger, do finally arrive, to where the sea divides; across to where they pray, their safety will lay. In despair –ignoring portents, they give their consent, to board the flimsy raft: Yusef – Maryam – and child; are – as they always will be, lost souls cast upon the sea. Such a strange Advent; star-shells illuminating the Border Force –seeking abroad the recessive sea; while fishermen now dread, what may lie in their nets. So,have you not heard? Christmas has been cancelled. with no celebrations; no meeting and greeting, after the Covid season. The Christ-child is not to be found: He is drowned. © DGMoody 2020, 2023
