Poem
From a refugee at Malindza
Jesus raised up Lazarus
when the people did not think.
Lazarus is in a deep sleep
said Jesus.
Today I am Lazarus, you are Lazarus,
come, come out.
Where was Lazarus?
Lazarus slept in the grave.
And now, we sleep in different graves
where Jesus tells us come out
Come, come out.
Come out of your hatred
Jesus is ready to give you love
come out of your adultery
Jesus is ready to forgive you
Come, come out.
Come out of your weakness in the prayer
Jesus is ready to strengthen you
come out of your jealousy
Jesus is ready to clean your heart.
Come, come out.
Come out of your anger
Jesus is ready to give you happiness
Come out of your anxiety
Jesus is ready to stabilize you
Come, come out.
Come out of your darkness
Jesus is the eternal light
Come out of your selfishness
Jesus is ready to give you charity.
Come, come out.
Come out of your lies
Jesus is the truth
Come out of your disobedience
Jesus is a good educator.
Come, come out.
Come out of your fights
Jesus is peaceful
Come out of your conflict
Jesus is security
Come, come out.
Come! Me and you come.
Come to the cross.
We will be strong.
So Satan and sins
will be burned.
Come, come out.
