“But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head,,,”
– Psalm 22:6-7 (KJV)
They assemble—
day after day—
singing, praying, swaying,
living spectacles,
seeking miracles,
signs, wonders,
the Holy Spirit
pouring
down
like
fire.
In lieu of the rapturous,
we’d settle
for softened hearts,
justice
rolling
down
like
waters,
Saul
on the
Damascus Road
moments
for every senator,
representative,
councilperson,
PTA parent,
pundit,
podcaster,
preacher,
who proudly persecutes
the divine dwelling in the least of these.
