Matthew 2:1-12

For those who know these things
who study the signs
     that they might know
what is
     and is to come
Yes
     even they
     who could see the handwriting in the stars
Came
     in search of the one foretold
     the one who would make
     all the searching
          yearning
               seeing
     complete
The Heavens told them
This was the Messiah
     the Christ
          the Prince of Peace
In a world longing so
                    for Peace
This was to be the one
Who would make all the Herods
     in their quest for
          Peace
          (Law and Order at any Cost)
          and Tranquility
          (Change must not come too quickly
                         and upset
               the systems that fill my pockets)
lords
     of only kingdoms
granted them in this world
          by the people
               who wish to have security
                    made up of the
                         bits
                               and
                                    pieces
                                         of
                                              human
                            Destruction
Into this came
             and comes
the Kingdom
     of the one who brings Peace
                                        Shalom
                      even to the Herods
This Messiah
      Born under the star
was here
Breaking into all the might
                                     wisdom
                                            Power
         of this world
                 with the seemingly helpless
                                                                  cry
                                                                       of a baby
