These are the remorseless times that we find ourselves in. We remember the lyrics and sing while lifting our chins. Out, across the turbulent timepiece, surrounded by walls, we watch the unfolding of the entire universe in awe.

I see you peeking through in the early morning hours before a long flight. I see you trying to decide when the timing is just right. I see you warming the pathways to your liking. I see you teasing the plans of those hiking and biking. I see you calling forth the next stages of the plan. I see you lifting the chin of at least this one man.

What are the children supposed to think,
in a world given to shallow behavior,
on a planet given to pride and wrath,
destroyed by war, rebuilt by greed,
and all dressed down for lust.
What are the elderly supposed to think,
in a framework of erosion
of land and principles,
in a place without safety or security,
brought to the brink many times.
What are you supposed to think
when rain is acid,
water is poison,
the ones pledged to create many
destroy one,
sex is death,
infants have chimney breath,
the oceans are filling with plastic,
the tides are rising,
Brides are surprising their grooms,
with what looms from their past,
in one of many #metoo tombs
where life continues to gasp.
What, I ask, am I supposed to think,
when cops are murdering in the streets,
leaders are busy hiding behind sheets,
and the entire foundation starts to sink.
A foundation of genocide, theft, slavery,
was the background for our lessons.
We have been taught across time.
My mind begins to wander,
while my heart begins to climb.
I’m reminded that even if I’m blind as a bat,
as broke as a joke, left for dead, scars all
over my head, choking on glass,
there is a God above that is love,
and love bats last.

When we share with each other the light and warmth to which we’ve been exposed, generations of children will thank us from the future.

Somewhere behind the glamour and glitz, behind the the fountain that spits pink champagne and the tint. Behind the glint in her eye and his stint on the run. Somewhere behind the flint in the sky and the unregistered gun. Somewhere behind everyone is the face, turned downward, of an angel wishing for our stories to end well.

Does your faith begin at creation,
or does it begin with the fall?
Does it maintain in any situation,
and does it sustain with your call?
