or, we could choose the option
of being impatiently patient.
to be so annoyed at hate
that we will not let it
bully its way into our communities.
to become so ill at ease
with the notion that the wealthy
should continue to get all the breaks
while the poor are told
"get your act together."
to stop sitting on our hands
but be raring to go to challenge
those injustices that folks
believe should be ignored.
to be piqued beyond peevishness
towards all who preach a Jesus
who no longer cares for the forgotten,
the hungry, the lonely, the scared.
and maybe, just maybe, if we do,
we will realize that being
impatiently patient is right up
your alley.
