What can we do?

When hate is strong enough to knock down buildings

When God is implicated as an accomplice to murder

When the dirt beneath our feet is worth our neighbor’s blood

 

What can we do?

When hatred brings grief counselors to day care centers

When schoolyards become kill zones

When watching the instant replay of horror beyond our grasp

 

What can we do?

When tiki torches bring death to Charlottesville

When nightclub goers in Orlando die for the crime of being gay

When church goers in Charleston die for the crime of being black

 

What can we do?

When the inhumanity in others eats away at our own

When our only hope is love will we have the courage to try?

If love can change the world and we can love

 

What can we do?
