have seen a great light;
those who lived in a land of deep darkness —
on them light has shined." Isaiah 9:2
those who lived in a land of deep darkness —
on them light has shined." Isaiah 9:2
we keep hoping for
just the right recognition,
we keep jockeying
for the positions of power
where (because no one else
seems up to the task) we can
finally change everything that
has been dumped into that
handbasket heading you know where,
but
all you want us to do
is to be that flashlight which
can show those huddled in fear
the way to hope, or at least
be a candle which flickers
when everyone else has snuffed
theirs out to save them for
another day.
