you know that God is crying tonight
the creation is dying
and the ones sent to enjoy it
have all turned their backs on it
left it to die
unwilling to take the risks that
are required even if only to save themselves
you know that God is crying tonight
with the babies in cages
and families stuck behind a wall
that protects no one and limits everyone
including God
you know that God is crying tonight
for in a land of unimagined riches
people live meal to meal even as
they work harder and longer each year
you know that God is crying tonight
as people who use the name of the Lord
steal the souls of the unsuspecting
and the trusting
replacing them with fear and mistrust
you know that God cries everynight

I think the moment life left God’s hands and was sent forth into the Universe, we became independent souls with a safety tether and the tools to sever the bond or be held tightly through our faith. Either way – every soul is counted. Every soul bears witness. This one hit home, Lonnie.
Thanks for taking the time to read some of this, Shiela
