Crimson Noel ……
Poem:
For over sixteen hundred years,
Christmas—a festival of glee and cheer.
Bethlehem, where once a joyous vagitus rang,
Now trembles with the cries of babes,
Grizzling in fear, lost in the dark.
Pain and blood stain the sacred ground,
A constant threat to life, blind to borders and beliefs.
Violence rages, innocence bleeds—
A scar that mars humanity’s face.
Prayers rise, seeking a twist of fate,
For Jesus to bless all,
To end the madness,
To cast a spell of protection,
And cradle the world in peace.
Let the new year bloom with hope,
A season of healing,
A time for new beginnings.
