“They were greatly astounded and said to one another, ‘Then who can be saved?’” Mark 10:26

the broken-for-justice

and those out of breath

chasing after little kids on play grounds;

rich young fools without a clue

and those who puzzle out

the intricacies of diseases;

foolish folks who fall

for ever scam that comes their way,

and the neighbors who help them

put their lives back together;

transgender kids and their allies,

and the ones who take too long

to see their gifts and even more,

their humanity; 

the lonely, the rich-with-friends;

the forgotten, the forgetters;

the one-percenters,

the ones they think are prospering;

the believers, the doubters,

the convicted, the confused

and everyone else in between
