A Word For A Soul Pierced By A Sword Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

Never at all
I'm on the
Religious ball
If prophet Simeon's
Painful message
"A sword will pierce
Your soul! " (Luke 2: 35)
That shows
The selfless sacrifice
The immaculate has
To pay
To achieve God's goal
Fails before me
To stand tall.

For the sagacious
Suffice a word
The immaculate
Herself said
"Great things untold
Things manifold
Had done to me
The Lord
My Son and my God." (lk 1: 49b)

Take note
When we pray
Excepting her
Is a fault!
