Being Wise Twenty June 20, 2021
Here I am, safe for now.
In the wider world, there
are many threats. We have
cause to fear we’ll lose our
democracy. People try to take
away votes, let big corporations
increase their power over ordinary
citizens, push us toward poverty,
more storms, droughts, floods,
hurricanes, make safety an illusion,
a pipe dream. A little bird whistles
to warn us. A grievous time emerges.
May we see it in time and stop that
dictator in his tracks. Let the harsh
realities be revealed in time. A few
hate democracy, want power over us,
eager to take away our freedom. We will
have our new holiday, Juneteenth. We
will not be cast out or imprisoned.
Our faith will pull us together.
Those intent on betrayal will
be overcome, and our
vibrant democracy
will stand strong
and win this war.
