In Bethlehem, south of Jerusalem, a bomb falls over Saint Porphyrius Church

is obscured under the rubble
civilians told to move south towards
the border, take to the roads
mid escape a bomb falls
their bodies scatter over Salah-al-Din street
the son of man mangled over the floor

the Son of man shall be betrayed (Matthew 20:18)
makes me think of what a great betrayal it is to wage war against one another towards one another’s children and families
