clarity of mind
strength of heart
a faith-filled spirit
bestow these on your warriors, o Lord, that they may live in peace and joy.
(if you want to get rid of somebody now
you can just drop a drop of the toxin,
blame it on the CV, and skate. huh.)
and we get to be here, in this place,
on this timeline, to watch as it unfolds
it’s a nightmare and a terror show, tragic beyond telling,
side by side with miracles of beauty, goodness, truth.
and we who stand for love’s joyful peace
know who wins in the end. Thus we stand,
brave ragdolls laughing in the wind.
