A Chrismas Song for The Place

By "Slim" at MOA (and, don't forget, Christianity came out of 'The Place'):

Jesus is buried under rubble in Gaza

And there ain't no Christmas this year

His bones all crushed in a genocide rush

And there ain't no Christmas this year


He lies there with babies and toddlers

Whose fathers fight brave for their home

Grand-moms and uncles shopkeepers and plumbers

Dreams crushed by a rain of our bombs


Some may have to flee but they’ll sure keep their key

To their home for a future return.

No time to bury Mary, sweet 13 yr old -girl

She’ll lie next to Christ under stone


It’s a trail of tears going south for a haven

Bodies (line) both sides of the road

The blood and the smell will scar but give purpose

It’s Nakba all over again


No Christmastime in Palestine

Just sorrow from river to sea

No fast to break, for good Gods sake

Just sorrow from river to sea
