Simeon: God Has Heard
So it came to pass the child grew -
and has to be dedicated according to the law;
In this moment there was a man, holy in his countenance
imploring Yahweh through his prayer and penance,
Mature in years though, assured by the Holy Spirit
to recite his canticle before the Christ;
Everyone in the temple then wondered, stunned with sigh
deeply troubled about the sign that would end their cry;
Oh chosen people behold your long awaited savior -
for Yahweh has heard, and to deliver Israel from this dark hour;
Now consider this meaningful though short account -
that would challenge our whimsical religious cult
