humanity and hope

i guess this about the church. and, humanity in general. i just needed to empty my head.

my compassion,
is de-sensitized.
my marginalized buried
under the weight of piety.
"thank God i am not like that man,
a sinner".

here is my bride,
looked down upon.
have mercy on me, oh God,
a sinner.
here is my precious child
stripped of her humanity.
make me to mourn for her,
in this hopelessness.

don't give her righteous acts,
gifts and pretty things,
just sit beside her,
understand where she comes from.

teach us compassion,
to mourn those stripped of humanity
to hear you're voice of hope.
