Jericho Poems - Poems about Jericho

JERICHO AWAKENING Deception has always been A strategy and ally of injustice; Veiling its ruthless deeds, And shifting attention From aged-old atrocities, While living and percolating Behind invisible Jericho walls:- Let not the reality Of new Jericho borders Blind and deceive us:- Legislative freedom and unity For so-called refugees, Remain at hand, and Our struggle to be masters Of ourselves continues; We being caged and considered Refugees in this, our...

Jericho Roads By Mark Stucky At the end of the rock-strewn road, fell the walls surrounding Jericho. Spared from destruction, were a harlot’s people, the family of Rahab, Israel’s unlikely ally, and unlikely ancestor of peasants and kings and the King of kings, who came to save us all, when our own walls fall at the ends of our roads.

If for but a minute I stopped to only mourn and scorn the dark deeds, To only pause and grieve for all that bleed from the hands of bad seeds, To only complain, detest, protest for redress in the best possible way, To only halt the fires of heated debates as we dream tonight for a better day, My...

Journey on Jericho Road Shattered grace in jagged nights on the road to Jericho; Ev’ry step and ev’ry breath are filled with shame I know I am to blame; I build a wall to hide my face so you can’t see All the pain I’ve caused – all the misery The blazing sun rushes in on waves...
