Our only hope
Everyone is taking sides,
yet everyone is on the same side:
it’s our vision versus God’s.
Should we not give our tongues
to Him to quell, flesh to subdue,
our thunderous hearts to becalm
amidst this impossible rebellion?
Not in piety and passivity
but as a clear and dutiful course of action,
out of our compassion, such as it is,
out of our ignorance and impairment.
Out of a tenuous devotion to mercurial truth,
to set out along the narrow way, His way,
as best it might be determined, holding out faithfully
for the one great hope – our only hope –
the truth from God’s perspective, God’s big picture.
O child, keep your opinions to yourself.
Only silence should come from a grave.
