his steadfast love endures forever!" Psalm 118:1
with all that goes on
in the world these days,
i could care less about
an aging boxer slash bully
slash narcissist match,
but i hope i am passionate
about those fighting hate.
i have no real feelings
one way or another about
some superstar celebrity
who has thousands of dollars
stolen while earning so much
more playing a brutal game,
but i am ashamed of a political
culture which seeks to rob
people of their self-worth.
i hope i will never trust more
in the false promises and
hollow lies offered every day
than i do in your love which,
however battered and windswept,
weary and frayed at the edges,
refuses to let go of me.
