It's not a sign board that says
"Go away"
That is a mark of a silent prayer
It is the act of giving the poor a place to stay
When your pockets are empty
And you live in a house of despair
It's not tear gas on the streets
Or hostile stares to the cops
That is a mark of a silent plea
It is the act of kindness that takes heart
When the world hates you and is against you
And takes up it's arms
