Raymond A. Foss Poems

With Herod, the elite,
all of Jerusalem troubled
by the coming of the Magi
looking for the Messiah

The coming of strangers
seeking the Christ-child
wanting for find the baby
the son of David

All of Jerusalem troubled
not wanting to believe
that the time of Your coming
was there in their time

Not ready to give up power
to God’s appointed King
holding onto their power
unwilling to believe
