HOPE
(Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24)
Ezekiel saw
a time beyond exile;
peace, stability.
A time of healing,
of hope beyond punishment,
peace beyond despair.
But those gentle scenes,
are far from today’s carnage,
fear, hatred and death.
In the once-dreamt life,
now the bleak wasteland of death,
has hope breathed its last?
