Third Sunday in Lent

"I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than live in the tents of wickedness." Psalm 84:10b

may i take the job
following the horses
in a big parade instead
of being honored at the banquet
of the purveyors of prejudice.
may i be the single
parent working two jobs
to make ends meet 
rather than take a bonus
from a CEO whose firm
covers up polluting rivers.
may i be a bouncer
at a Pride bar rather 
than running for office
on a platform of denigrating
any of God's most precious
children.
