God is light , there is no darkness in him at all.
If we live our lives in the light, we are in union one with another.
Can we resist this demanding call.
Can we treat all as our blood brother.

Herod had all the male children killed.
Who were two years old or under.
His sheer cruelty chilled .
All mercy cast asunder.

But in our society how do we treat our innocents.
Do we nurture all life however feeble.
Do we value above all, innocence.
Do we treat all as worthy people.

No life is expendable.
All life is valuable .

…….

We condemn Herod
But are we now innocent
How do we treat them
