Our anger is righteous enough
Our anger is justified enough
Our anger burns hot enough
To set fire to our enemies
To watch the flames turn them to kindling
Our grief is overwhelming enough
Our grief is encompassing enough
Our grief rains down enough
To flood our enemies’ streets
To watch their homes become their graves
Our fear is not honest enough
Our fear is not reliable enough
Our fear is not clever enough
To build hearths instead of pyres
To build cradles instead of tombs
Can our love be powerful enough
Can our love be magnificent enough
Can our love be creative enough
To fashion a temple that cares not to separate faith
To fashion a world that cares not to separate nations
