because royalty can seem
to be out of touch with people,
politicians seem to be all
about voters idolizing them,
the wealthy cannot keep
from coveting more and more,
and the powerful are absolutely
corrupted beyond imagination,
we may think you are
really no different, and so
miss hearing your whispers
of compassion for the vulnerable,
never notice you working
continually for justice for the forgotten,
walk past where you are
telling the dismissed of their worth,
and never accept your abiding
love and grace for us.
