that there was no justice.
He saw that there was no one,
and was appalled that there was no one to intervene;" Isaiah 59:15b-16
He saw that there was no one,
and was appalled that there was no one to intervene;" Isaiah 59:15b-16
and since the celebrities
were too busy with the
swag bags they didn't need,
you turned to the forgotten
to speak up for those who
sleep in the streets and scrounge
dumpsters for an evening meal.
and since the powerful
were too comfortable in their
perfectly climate controlled
homes to pay any attention,
you asked the young people
to confront the politicians who
continue to pooh-pooh the notion
that global warming is real.
and since we seem to talk more
about being appalled at injustice
than actually doing something,
you continue to search for
that remnant, however small,
willing to risk everything
for those who have nothing.
