I know it is not only me

caught in these ridiculously hard times


all I love are suffering

and those who are comfortable

are more insufferably selfish

and uncaring as they've ever been


it means nothing to say God will have the last word

the One is still busy clearing His throat

(more's the pity)

but this is the time when we stop

bowing and scraping before such idols

and take in hand the roiling surges of happenings

and bring them to heal ourselves


we may fail but we at least we tried...
