“Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen, in whom my soul delights;
I have put my spirit upon him;
he will bring forth justice to the nations.”
in the former comedian
serious about saving his country,
in the children who
stand up to bullies
on playgrounds as well
as in legislatures,
in the young people
who long to be accepted
for who they know they are
and not how others define them,
in the older folks
who will not go gently
into that night (or day)
of being discounted,
we are surrounded by
more servants than
we can begin to imagine
