Egypt

 


Egypt
A land of lies
hidden identity.
A land of exile
crippling slavery
tears of anguish
watering sand
barren ground growing
profit for exploiters.
A land of empty
promises, splintered
reed piercing those
who look in hope....


...An infant cry
begins redemption
claiming broken land
as safe haven-
a place of death
for children
now sheltering
refugee child
from slaughter.
O Egypt,
salvation reaches
beyond the river
banks of Cush
calling your people
to Immanuel
God among you.
