O how she lamented in Ramah,
over the innocent children,
who were no more,
Herod. heinous and deranged,
killed all children under two years old
and she was severely sore.
But today Rachel still weeps inconsolably
over the millions being killed every day.
Notes:
Originally Rachael lamented because she died after child birth. This happened after she was barren for many year. See Genesis.
Hundreds of years passed when Herod killed the Innocent babes. Bethlehem was very small. No one knows the number of killed babies but it could not have been a large number.
