Bethlehem Donkey

Beneath a star a boy was born,
a special child was he,
mum and dad and some kings looked on
as did an old donkey.

This donkey knew that great things
would follow this baby's birth 
now the world would change
for a Saviour was here on earth.

Like the others gathered round
the donkey knelt before
the rough manger on the ground
and donkeys would for evermore.

That is why, if you sneak
at Christmas to a donkey's stall
without a sound, don't even speak!
just look around the wall.

You may see the donkey kneeling 
facing towards the east
overcome by an ancient feeling
representing all other beasts.

This simple animal every year
shames mankind it seems
for we just raise a glass to cheer
forsaking the Saviour's dreams.

Innocent Innocent of Rwanda

Oh, bright boy of another race
Tears stream down your young brown face
Of your parents and siblings there's no more trace
Why were you not born in another place?

This bright young lad sits beneath a tree,
Telling of the loss of his family
Speaks to a microphone but he's talking to me
And I sit comfortable in my land of the free.

His parents were hacked to death
And he watched them draw their last breath
Brothers and sisters all gone too,
Now what's a thirteen year old boy to do?
