Passing Times

What is it mother in the sky
the light that shines so bright.
It is a sign of things to come
a god that's just and right.

What kind of god comes to us now
Deserving such a show.
A greater one than sky and land,
and also meek and low.

What causes such a spectacle
of light so far away.
It is the end of one such world
whose time just would not stay.

It is written that we too
will end in such a way
A glowing blaze of fire
from the birth that was today.

Mother then, should we not
kill this child and fight,
to keep our world from turning
to a spectacle of light.

No no my child this babe is good
and comes to save our soles,
from Satan that deceitful one
who fills the truth with holes.

But mother dear,where comes he from
this babe to give us mirth.
It is said by profits old
The newborn comes from Earth.
