Empire

Three wise men came from country far.

They checked in with the local king to

be sure the star was guiding them right.

Surely a king must know a promised savior?

The king did not know the gift and offered

to help with a gift if only they came back and told.

The wise men went and saw the babe,

a thrilling promise with tales of angels.

Then a dream to not go back, go a different way.

We know not what the trouble they faced,

all because they avoided the empire.

All we know is others died because power 

is a hungry idol and empty with no gift.
