Mass Deportations

If you and others are having celebrations If you're celebrating mass deportations, Because, of distraught, exhausted human beings are seeking refuge And them all you just want to ignore and refuse. Remember, what is now the season As we celebrate this holiday for one reason, As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and savior Who many sadly wouldn't allow or want as their neighbor. Long, long time ago a family made a journey A man and his pregnant wife on a donkey, as a gurney, They traveled to a different country for safety and sanctuary Joseph, and his pregnant wife Mary. It is now once again that time of the year When you sing with joy and drink with cheer, As you are celebrating and preparing for this holiday Peace on Earth and good will to all you continually say. Maybe you shouldn't be sweetly singing Christmas songs Remember, peace and love is for what the melody longs, Singing about a baby with 'no crib for a bed.' As you wish upon all immigrants sorrow and dread. You remember that Jesus is our savior and our lord And what he does is his Heavenly Father's accord, But, one fact you forgot and refuse to see Jesus also was that immigrant and a refugee. Randy L.
