Stone Hand Weeps (in the news) – Stone Hand (leaders and Leadership)

By

Time to Read:

1–2 minutes

A life not long, nor free of dalliance

Can open to compassion

The hand that bore Stone Hand knows

The man-boy will embrace leader

When he sees senselessness

With innocence as victim

     When he feels powerless

     Against God’s often misunderstood

     Designs

     And he gets inkling enough

     That he can give hope

     To those needing it

The hand that bore Stone Hand

Arranges Stone Hand in West Africa

The summer abroad

Amidst a deadly Ebola outbreak

That reveals Stone Hand

A man of stone with a human heart

With new found resolve to help

     Human enough to weep

There are those who survive,

Flown to the states,

While bodies stack up 

In Nigeria’s mass graves

Stone Hand weeps
