A Psalm and a Sorrow

Listen, listen, listen You dig your graves with your ignorance Listen, listen, listen You hide the truth from your ears You fools Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen to my Spirit capture your house Is your attention mine? You think this is just another poem Then you are another loss Listen to me! You naive travelers! You wander into land with no food or water! And you welcome the drought of your soul I beg you, Listen Welcome not drought But instead welcome righteousness And mercy, and unconditional love Hear me Do not close your mind to what is coming You face death because of your charade This is the end if everything. As you know it. Be pure and listen to my words This is your crossroads This is the end of everything as you know it You must Listen.

The issue isn't that you react with perfection.

It is that you listen and you act
