and put your trust in the LORD." Psalm 4:5
when we could offer
grace to those longing
for a gentle word, we have
to load them down with
all the grudges we carry.
when we could share
the justice which so many
search for in these times,
we continue to wear it
like an heirloom which
can only be passed down
to those who are taught
the secret handshake
from the moment of birth.
when we could extend
a hand of welcome to all
who have been pushed
aside by the ones with power,
we can't bring ourselves
to trust that you have
vetted them as worthy
enough to be in our group.
