|
The embryo implants the uterine lining,
|
folding within its amniotic abode
|
The gut and neural tubes forming in conjunction
|
Cardiac impulse with foetal brain function
|
|
The journey was harsh, days on the road in the dirt
|
The young couple compelled by the census taker to reach the City of David
|
The time came for the birth of her firstborn but no lodgings were found
|
So, wrapped in strips of cloth, the child was placed in an animal feeding trough
|
|
In the absence of relations
|
The human paternal genome left in want
|
The Word became flesh and blood through the unnatural conception
|
|
The uterine contractions are a source of pain
|
The agonising passage through cervix dilating
|
Vacating the endometrium the child emerges, afterbirth, initial respiration
|
|
Infanticide has gripped Ephrath, mothers cry as their children die
|
His Highness, his wickedness, Herod the Great
|
Has slaughtered the innocents for his excruciating jealousy
|
|
The Magi had informed Herod of the birth of a king
|
His unbridled ambition was crushed by the arrival of the Christ
|
He consulted the chief priests and scribes as to the place of birth
|
Then, with his throne in thought, the ugly violence of the murders were wrought
|
But too late for the child of promise had fled to western lands
|
|
The Word became flesh and blood through the unnatural conception
|
Thus the Christ of prophecy was born
|
