God,
as things seem to collapse
and people leave
and give up.
I can’t tell
Is this the end of the apocalypse?
Or the beginning?
What are we uncovering?
Will things change?
Or will we trundle along,
insisting that everything is
has been
and will be normal.
Is this how it was on Palm Sunday Jesus?
When people were welcoming you
with open arms.
Was everyone saying,
I can’t wait til Israel
gets back to normal.
Did you bother to tell them
That’s not what I’m here for?
Or did you answer,
like to Pilate–
You say that is what I’m here for
More or less agreeable.
God, I find that I am agreeable
these days,
as I don’t know
what is happening next–
I agree that this might happen
or that
and then I always end the day
in prayer
God’s will be done
God’s kin(g)dom come.
Because heaven knows,
I’m just another human
living in apocalyptic times.
God, I don’t have a bigger prayer
than this–
your will be done
your kin(g)dom come.
Amen.
