Reading the passion
You realize
We continue to fashion
Ways to crucify
Jesus
Over and over again
In our history there
Isn’t one point when
We stopped hurting
The poorest among we,
We elect power grabbing
Leaders who continue
To hurt thee,
Jesus
In children with poisonous water
Chemicals, bombs, refusal
To feed and serve those we deem
Do not deserve
We kill you again and again
Oh God
We never stop our
Evil actions
Oppressing black family
Drawing factions
Stealing and poisoning land
Belonging to first nations
We let money drive us
Greed rule us
Satan enters us
We kiss our Lord with worship
And tonight he breathes no more…
