A Lament from God

A Lament from God

Oh creation, creation,

people of my design

listen to the voice of

​​ your God,

the children are

crossing over

ahead of their time

before there is a place

crossing over

to an empty space,

a hollow heaven

unprepared​​ 

to make a welcome

for a life of gathering

and learning

giving and taking

crossing over​​ 

before it’s time

before their God can

send a call

being sent instead by

a people who ​​ care

more about guns

than their children

 

Oh, tell the people

it is enough

it is enough

tend to your children

and not to your myths

it is enough

it is enough
