In Sarah's Womb
The children are studying and labouring
from first light until dark
ever building and clearing the earth
Their hands are strong
Their tongues are sharp
They confront their problems like warriors
They stand up for themselves
and fight for what is theirs
They are killed every day by their sins
Like infants they are in love with themselves
The proud rulers of the earth walk like gods
Their imaginations are bloated with air
Their minds swell to encompass the stars
They sit in the temple of the speed of light
They worship their own thoughts
ready to execute anyone who says they are liars
because they are good to their children and grandchildren
and leave them a world as their inheritance
a world they have melted and remoulded
a world they have fashioned with skill
and have designed with good technique
and they do not know
that they have crafted the earth itself
into an idol of sin
In their temple the dome of stars expands
Their knowledge of good and evil
begins with a big bang
Their knowledge of right and wrong
ends with a whimper
They dream of moving between the stars
but their dreams flicker out
because they do not know
that there is no distance between the stars
that is not already transversed by a Godly force
and that the world of the stars,
moves as one body in the word of God,
and as one body is filled with the angels of God,
who labour only in light,
building an entrance hall
to the home of the People of God
Who are the People of God?
Those who have weak hands
made strong washed in pure water by faith
Those who have soft tongues
made quick by speaking the word of God
those who do not stand for themselves
or for their own thoughts
but who stand for the needs of their neighbor on angel’s wings
Those who were born to the inheritance of this world
but who were reborn to another world
through the seed of Abraham
in Sarah’s womb
