may our
eyes be open
may the stories
come flooding in
may we listen
with full appetites
for the next round
of bitter news
may my
heart never
reach capacity
or shatter under the weight
yes, I will pray
yes, I will stay
yes, I will say
enough already
we are a generation
bottle fed
on the brokenness of the world
it can't be hidden anymore
we are coming in
arms wide open
listening
O Lord
I hope listening
to the pain
pushing back
standing up
seeing
hopefully, understanding
sitting in the seat of
social media
like gods
preaching peace
(hear me out, please)
can we do it?
I think we can.
can we be it?
I think we can
the generation that hears
and speaks
and seeks
to change the ways
I pray
I may
be, at least,
one piece
may we grow to fill our words
with our actions
may we continue becoming
may it all be true
may it all be real
may it change us to be
what we truly can be
what we can be
can be.
