Friday, Bloody Friday

Ireland, May 25, 2018 I heard the news today, poor boy You will not see the sunlight, Will never hold a toy Not born once, won’t be born again Can you be born to God Who will not be born to men? I don’t suspect they’ll raise a cairn You had no right to life So your death will cause no alarm And you won’t even get a grave What’s not born is never buried What’s unfound may not be saved There is no sum can count the cost Their pockets may be deep But deep enough to hide the Cross? They passed sentence on your soul The same 6th day they killed Our Lord Will Our Lord yet make you whole? Pray God will baptize you in blood Where the ends of the rainbow meet Where the water subsides to love
