Jan 19 In New Kru Town

Silent night 
All was calm and bright
Hands were lifted in hallelujah 
As the soccer page
Became the garden of Gethsemane

Holy night
Sinners eyes ran tears
As hearts grieved for their evil deeds
Their words sewing their wretch clothes 
Romans 10:9-10 coming alive

Suddenly wings took to flight
While the children of God gathered 
The devil was found in their midst
Sowing thorn among the roses

Lives were hacked 
As breaths  were cut
The field was water with blood
Like in mud man was stampede
The scent of death polluted the air
