Oh holy night
\nOur sins are brightly shining
\nIt is the night of our dear Abraham’s shame
\nLong lay the world in war and error pining
\nThe Rabbi taught
\n“Once a Jew always a Jew,
\nit is in your DNA”
\nThe Priest taught
\n“Once a Catholic always a Catholic,
\nbut you could be American, Italian et al”
\nThe Muslims – well who’s to say
\nthey just entered center stage…<\/p>\n
Star of Infamy Star of Fame
\nhow sharp and bright your points of light
\ncliffs of Dover falling over
\nall the kings horses wild and free
\nturn to wood or stone
\nTill sense reappear’d and our soul felt its worth.
\nRebirth of hope the weary world rejoices
\nFor yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
\nAnother dawn we’re still alive
\nShake hands with your neighbor
\nShake hands with your sister too
\nUn shod your feet
\nOh hear the earth\/angel voices
\nnever ceasing:
\n“Peace on earth. when we learn,
\ngood will t’ward children,
\nmen,
\nand women.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
