God
I know
That you said
Pray for our enemies
And I know
that you know
That you meant
When it’s confusing
And you can’t tell who
your enemy is
Pray for them
When the nuance is lost
and you fear for your children
and their children
and all the children (again, and again)
Pray
And I know
that you know
That you meant
The kind of Prayer that Meant
Cry
Sigh
Rest
And then get
Back to
Doing all you can
to be a Peacemaker
Whether that is
Vote
Call
Protest
Talk to People
Humanize
Because Sweet
Beautiful
Dusty
Footed Jesus
Who
Walked the Walk
I know
That you Know
That Prayer
Is the conversation
That we have
with ourselves
others
and you
To remind one another
That
we are
all human
In the end
So here I am
Praying
for
Peace
Praying
For my enemy
Because what is
an enemy
in this
World where
Everyone (pretty much)
Wants the same things
But someone
We all think
The ways to them
are opposite
And God
If you can help us
Stop
All the bombs
Everywhere
Please
I would be Grateful
Praying
In the Name of
The Prince of
Peace
Amen
