The people asked John, What should we do?

 

If a wise woman were in our midst

I might ask… what should we do?

If an anointed man made Himself known

We might ask… what should we do?

What should we do

About the daily violence

About the refugees

About the warming oceans

About the missing indigenous women

About our waste

About racism

About sexual discrimination

About hatred

About how so many admire and follow Donald Trump

About

About

Such pain

Such suffering

Such injustice

Retreating inward

I want to protect my children and what I think is mine….

And bury my head under the covers

Maybe it will all go away…..

Snow will land

All will seem white , pretty, beautiful

And the problems

Will fad into the recesses

Even for a moment

The answer lies in the text

Share

Love

Do what is right

Then share

And love
