The shackles of their faith

Bound by the word
of the law, in fragments
the shackles of their faith
blinding them for the signs
Unable to see
that he was the Christ
the prophecies foretold
lived out in him
alive, in the flesh
the fulfillment of all
only knowing in part
denying it all
that he could be born
according to the law
that he could live there
that he could come at all
