“But the word of God is not chained.” 2 Timothy 1:9b
we can treatthe good news
of compassion as
if it is an endangered
species behind glass
in a zoo, but you will
break in at night,
setting it free to run
through our streets.
we can try to ban
all your promises about
fairness and inclusion
out of fear that they might
groom our children to be
more just than we are,
but you will continue
to slip those words
into the backpacks
of their hearts and souls
when we are not looking.
