why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me,
from the words of my groaning?" Psalm 22:1
because we assign
the job to you, God,
we ignore the whispers
coming from the rooms
along the hospital corridor,
the hushed sobs of kids
who are bullied by peers
and terrorized by adults,
the hollow cries
of lonely neighbors sitting
in the shadowed rooms,
the words forming in
our own souls and hearts
that we keep telling
to be quiet.
