the faithful have disappeared from humankind." Psalm 12:1
the polls might convince us
that the knuckleheads
are about to consolidate
their hold on people's hearts,
social media makes it appear
that snark is trending far better
than simple compassion for others,
our devices blow up
with all sorts of reels which
popularize cruelty and ridicule.
but
if we look closely,
we will see the faithful
plugging away for justice,
the gentle cradling the
broken,
love continuing to finish
ahead of hate, and you
mentoring those wise enough
to pay attention.
