God, what love mischief can “we” do
For the world
Today
Hafiz /Daniel
Ladinsky
“What can you do to get into good trouble? There is a light
inside of you that will turn on when you get into good trouble. You will feel
emboldened and freed. You will realize that unjust laws cannot stop you. These
laws cannot stop the truth that is in your heart and soul.”
John
Lewis, Carry On: Reflections for a New Generation

They would like to win
They think they do win
As drenched with privilege
The rich and the powerful play their games
Coercion, control
Retribution and punishment
Are the name of the game
And for a moment
At this moment, they can strut
And smugly grin
But they do not know.
They do not understand
They are missing the parts that make us
Human
Imagio dei
Children of God
They have deported the Sacred from their souls
Leaving themselves impoverished
And so they cannot grasp the fact
That God
The wildly creative power that is beyond
All that we can imagine
Imagines a different world from theirs
They cannot understand that they can do their worst
And God knows they try
But in the end empire will fall
Evil will be overcome by good
Even death will be defeated
Meanwhile
We of little importance
Just ordinary souls
Permeated with God
Are planning a revolution
