thirty-eight

“Consider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners, so that you may not grow weary or lose heart.” Hebrews 12:3

when the 1%ers mock us
for helping those whose plates
don’t even have crumbs;
when the angriest voices
think they can drown out
our lullabies of grace
to the forgotten;
when the fearmongers think
they can shake us from believing
that love will topple hate
from its pedestal,
you give us the jolt
of 5-hope energy we need
