Nothing has changed



Nothing has changed
            You are against
                        Our people
                        Our customs
                        Our place

            Stirred by zeal for
                        Our people
                        Our customs
                        Our place
            Accusations flung, shouting erupts
            Aroused, they
                        Run here and there
                        Seize the perpetrator
                                    Violator
                                    Defiler
            Agitated, their
            Assumptions justified
                        They act to remove one who is against
                        Our people
                        Our customs
                        Our place
            Let nothing be changed

So – nothing has changed
                                                                                                               (Acts 21, especially vv. 27-ff)
