BENEDICTION

GOD, I'M AFRAID TO STEP OUTSIDE TODAY.
I'M AFRAID SOMEONE MIGHT WHISK ME AWAY, NOT FOR THE WAY I LOOK, BUT FOR THE WAY I THINK.
I'M NOT SURE TO TRUST ANYONE, OR DISAGREE. EVERYONE'S GOT A GUN.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD, WHO HELP YOUNG WOMEN WITH HARD CHOICES.
YOUNG ADULTS ATTENDING A CONCERT IN PARIS. PEOPLE EATING IN A STREET CORNER CAFE.
A YOUNG BLACK TEEN, SHOT FIFTEEN TIMES FOR STANDING TALL.
PEOPLE CUT DOWN IN MALLS, AT WORK, ON THE STREET CORNER.
DRONES, INDISCRIMINATELY KILLING THE YOUNG, OLD, ANYONE.
MY HEART IS BROKEN AND MY FEET ARE HEAVY.
I AM LOOKING TO YOU FOR RELIEF.
I CAN'T STAND THE PAIN, IT'S BURNING HOLES IN MY SHOES.
AMEN
