Advent starts the new Christian year
the life cycle of Christ begins again
new birth springs from a lonely manger
in a barn since the inn had no room
perishing are the refugees
then and now
Mary and Joseph were in exile
fleeing their home
just like the refugees South of the Mexico border
unspeakable
harm being done
yet, a reminder of the work
that needs to be done
in the Kindom
