words, words, words,
they're so sick of words.
we sing of grace, but amaze
others by our ungraciousness.
we claim to seek justice, but
too often only for the streets
where the privileged live.
we treat hope, compassion,
kindness, inclusion, and love
as illustrations for Sunday morning.
no wonder the broken and forgotten,
the lonely and the lost,
the silenced and the stragglers
are so sick of our
words, words, words.
