Enough.
When will it be enough?
How much do we have to lose
Before we say
Enough?
Schools.
Movie theaters.
Concerts.
Sporting events and nightclubs.
Mosques, Temples, and Churches.
City streets and broken homes.
I have been silent for so long
In fear that my true fears would be one more line of division
In the constant tirade of noise and blame
But I have had enough.
Haven't we all?
Aren't we just tired?
So
Tired.
It hurts deep within my gut
To begin my work day
Fumbling with the question of whether or not
to lock
The church doors during worship.
To preach the gospel of Jesus
Means that our prayers must be lived.
Prayer without change
In how we live or think or act
Is simply not
Enough.
True prayer changes the person
And creates something within
That looks a little bit more
Like God.
And so I pray
That we have all had enough
And that the pettiness of the political blame game
Will. Just. Stop.
So we can find our decency again
So we can find our humanity again.
(Perhaps that could make
America great again)
Is it too much to ask
That we come together
In the name of
LIFE
And say
Enough!
And this time
Truly mean it?
