“But my people did
not listen to my voice;
Israel would not submit to me.” Psalm 81:11
like those
pavlovian creatures,
we begin to
salivate
whenever we hear
the voices
of anger and
ridicule,
but always seem to
miss
the whispers of
hope
from the hungry
children,
the stories of
grace told
by the old folks
sitting
on their front
porches
