Bloodied Jesus Tanka Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Bloodied Jesus Tanka

written in response to Palestinian Pastor Munther Isaac's Christmas sermon:

In these last two months, the psalms of lament have become a precious companion to us. We cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken Gaza? Why do you hide your face from Gaza? "

'my God, my God
why have you forsaken me? '
bloodied Jesus
trapped under Gaza rubble
in the Christmas cold
