Politics. Religion. Money.
They don’t fix problems.
They are
A mere crutch
For a world without
legs to stand on.
A single drop of water
To a world thirsty for
justice.
A handout
To a world that wants a friend.
A world that hungers for
Hope.
Empathy.
Compassion.
Justice.
Mercy.
Politics don't make peace.
Religion starts wars.
Money doesn’t heal wounds.
The world hurts:
Wounds split families.
Conflicts kill children.
Angst crushes souls.
The privileged watch:
We pretend we don't ache.
We pretend we aren't broken.
We ignore the pain.
The world doesn't affect us.
Oh but it does.
We hurt too.
We cry out for
Grace.
Freedom.
Peace.
Joy.
Love.
We don't need
Your politics,
Your piety,
Your prestige.
We need God.
Amen
