Poetry for Humanity
The Wrecked State of the World
Waging love’s gentle war against the injustices of our time
It’s alright to rage at the state of our world.
To listen, weep, walk, and work alongside
The courageous ones
Who’ve long been
Exploited,
Silenced,
Oppressed.
To stand together against
The violent,
The heartless,
Who rage with cowardice.
To arise together
To reshape and rebuild
Our broken world.
To restore faith, hope and love of God,
And our shared humanity.
