Calling Birds On A Day of Innocence

Calling Birds On A Day of Innocence by Michael Romani Through the thick of woods falls a trickle of light To shine like a beacon before humanity's sight Calling birds gathered on a day of innocence To preserve the memory of slaughtered innocents The four calling birds sing boldly to dispel The hold of evil on us all through their gospel Evangelizing across the fields of boy soldiers dying They are almost drowned out the sound of mothers crying What they wouldn't give for another moment's embrace To see their sons and hold them close, face to face Oh precious Lord do you not hear the mother's lamentation For another dead African son who has given into temptation There is only one truth that will ever shine its light Only one key to the kingdom that is precious in our sight Crying mothers stumble through the pages of the Nazarene Teardrops fall smearing the ink hoping for what they mean Oh momma don't you cry for the wicked ways of the dead But instead free your heart and bring it to your head Teaching and reaching for clarity found in the parable Truths told in tales understandable to those capable Success they say is either measured in wealth or in power But the rich man cannot pay his way enough in his final hour Only if willing to hear these gospels shall any ever be free For those who have eyes and ears please see and hear this plea (c) December 28, 2017 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
