Christmas 2020

The Little Town of Bethlehem is not celebrating

It was the first to be hit by a virus so invading

Tourists carried it during a flourishing season

Causing a complete lockdown of all the region.


Easter has gone and now it's Christmas time

It's getting worse and the virus is in its prime

The Christmas tree stands lonely in the square

No choirs or pilgrims, a scene so sad and rare


With the news of the vaccine, hope is rising

Holding onto hope for us is not surprising

Hope has been the secret of our surviving

Despite the occupation ever so brutalizing


As we face this monster of a pandemic altogether

The least we can do is to be kind to each other

May the spirit of Christmas continue to prevail

And may justice, peace and liberation tip the scale
