A child of God.


He 1) stands alone in the shadow                                              Rejected

Facing the animosity of the mob                                               He shivers

He limps and his face is covered with blood                             And seeks

He longs for a shelter                                                                A home

Who could foretell a new blood wedding                                  In this century

In the history book, will not be mentioned                                 His name

Not a celebrity no, but a                                                             Victim

Not named in the propaganda articles                                       In the newspapers

He is no news, not important                                                     A showdown

But to me he is                                                                          So important

My brother my sister my father my mother                                Are you

For you I suffer with him and all the children suffer                   For me

I know that he is soft, sweet and deadly                                    Wounded

I can sense it as if I were him, briefly him                                  I am

And I shall remember him and if not for me                               Myself

Then I breathe still and whisper Your name                              And live for Him



1) Instead of he/him one can also read she/her of course.
