when we think
abide
means sitting in our
easy chairs of apathy,
letting grace gather dust
out of disuse,
putting compassion
back in the box
and on the shelf
in the closet,
agreeing on that
antiquated notion that
justice is a luxury for
the few, the privileged,
tip us out of our
chairs, waking us from
our drowsy disinterest,
and leading us out
into a world desperate
for those who actually
give a damn about
others.
