Epiphany.

 

Is it to show us how it goes

To sacrifice your only son

Or is it just the explanation

Of human destiny on a tree?

Always afflicted with strife and desolation

Where is the salvation

From slavery?

 

We try to revolt 

But they crush us down

With all their power

And all their might.

 

So where is the salvation?

To what must we turn a new page?

And we get lost in the game

And never realize that whatever the result

We are the born losers.

 

Is it to manifest the human destiny

That you send your only son

To be born in a manger?
