“But you, O
Bethlehem of Ephrathah,
who are one of the little clans of
Judah,” Micah 5:2a
born into poverty,
we preach you came
to make us
obscenely rich;
showing up in
a village of
forgottens,
we kinkade it into
a winter
wonderland;
noticed only by
migrant workers
and
traveling
magicians,
we turn your story
into a hallmark
movie,
and toss out the
gifts
(of justice,
peace, and hope
you place in our
hearts,)
with the
ripped-to-shreds
wrapping paper and
dried out tree
