God
I am
so angry
I could
Curse out
all the Fig
Trees
That are poisoning
The land
I am so
angry
I could
Flip
the tables
of all those
Who are
Tricking the
Public
with Slight of
Hand
Money
Changing
Pretend
“Money
Saving”
Tricks
God I am so
Angry
That there is
Not actually
A Cursing God
Tuesday
There is not
and actually
Justice Making
Monday
There is not
An
Actually
Action-Making
Stay up all Night
Until things Change
Sunday
We play through
The Emotions
of Holy Week
And all I end up
with is another
Statement
From my Denomination
Don’t get me wrong
I am a Writer
In Love with Words
Grounded in
The Good News
I love Verbal Processing
As much
as the Next Person
And I think
That Art
feeds the Soul
of Movements
But we have to figure
Out how To
Stop our
Senators from
Posting
Mealy Mouth
Social Media
Statements
And Move from
The Theater
To actually
Tearing Down
The things that
Don’t work
Before the
Fig Trees
Are Replanted
Before the Temple
was rebuilt
Before the Table
Was put back together
Things had to be
cursed out
Deconstructed
Torn Apart
Destroyed
There is no
resurrection
Without Death
How do we
Kill Racism
Nazism
Homophobia
Isolationism
Christian Fascism
So that we can finally
Figure out
Liberation
Equity
Justice
and Extravagant Grace
Lord,
Teach us
to be a Resurrection
People
we Pray
Amen
