“BrickHouse Security saves Jesus for 8th year in a row, offers free GPS tracking of nativity scenes and holiday displays.”
Somehow escaping
The sharp eye
Of angels, shepherds,
And magi,
Thieves snatch the infant
From the crèche
To spirit God off
In the flesh.
Clearly, it’s
The thieves’ intent
To massacre
The innocent
Like Herod
In the dark of night,
Forcing parents
To take flight.
To empty Christmas
Of the Christ
Would seem the purpose
Of the heist—
Unless the abject
And forlorn
Hijack the babe
To feel newborn
Themselves, and think
By robbing churches
They gain a love
They cannot purchase.
Unlike the soulless
Figurine
With planted chip,
The Nazarene
Restores the lost
Sans GPS,
And covers crime
With holiness.
