Child of Bethlehem
Cry child of BethlehemCry people of God
Your kingdom is shattered
Your holy words are gone
Grief child of Bethlehem
Grief your descendants
Who did not understand
Who did not want to understand
May your will pass through the world
Live child of Bethlehem
Live with your believers
Live through this world
Condemn everyone to eternal love
The thought will end through you
(James Söderman, 1994)
This poem I wrote after a debate on TV, where some priest where telling all the world, how much God hates homosexuals. I am a Christian - I believe that there are a God, and that he is everything Jesus told him to be - but my God doesn't hate anyone. He see what is in your soul. What he hates are bigots - real bigots - people who judge people without knowing them. Just because of their way of expressing love or what color their skin might be.
