Happy Xmas?
Today is the day of reconciliation in my country
It’s a joke
Also on this same day the people cry, “Merry Xmas”
It’s a joke
We preach a materialist gospel
To the glory of ourselves
shameless neocolonialism
We live in captivity and celebrate liberty
Like the blind admiring the sunrise
Who are the real fools?
Those who say there is no God
Or those who say they worship a God
who is no God at all?
By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
There on the poplars
we hung our harps,
for there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
How can we sing the songs of the LORD
while in a foreign land?
If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy. …….
psalm 137:1-6
