"Where is he that is born king of the Jews"? (Mat 2:2)

When the King heard this,
He got quite confused,
The wise men spoke of another king,
What a question,
Strange thing,
Based on a star from the east,
King Herod was troubled,
To say the least,

He called on his chief priests and other men,
Found out the baby would be found in Bethlehem,
The wise men he gave,
A secret task,
To tell him when they found the child,
So he might worship him as well,
But that was a lie he decided to tell,

The wise men agreed and continued their way,
They followed the star till it stopped, where a baby lay,
They praised his name and gave him gifts,
Gold, frankincense, and myrrh,

God told the wise men in a dream,
That Herod's intentions were not what they seemed,
So they went home another way,
But they wouldn't be the only ones who couldn't stay,

In a dream the angel of the Lord told Joseph,
That to Egypt the three must flee,
So that baby Jesus safe could be,
Herod the king would try hunting them down,
Afraid, that he might loose the crown,

After not hearing from the wise men,
King Herod let slew all the boys under two,
So that the prophet Jeremys words would be shown true,
That in Rama there was a voice heard, lamentation, weeping and great mourning,
Weeping for the children they won't see in the morning,
And would not be comforted,
As they are not,

After years passed by,
And king Herod had died,
Joseph, Mary, and Jesus,
Moved to Nazareth,

"that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene." (Mat 2:23)
