Let this Be the Sunday
Let this be the Sunday when bigotry ends,
Let this be the Sunday when new dawns begin,
Let this be the Sunday when white hoods burn,
Let this be the Sunday when ancestors yearning
For justice find their joy
When every person –
Girl or boy
Cis or trans
Look around and sees God’s hand
Sees all the hues
For what they are
Beautiful tapestries cloaking stars
Let this be the Sunday
When lies lose their home
When White Supremacy ends
When Nazis are left alone
Far back in the past
In a history we’ve faced
Uprooting ignorance
Rejecting race
Let this be the Sunday
When we see things plainly
A horizon hijacked by hate
A country that waits for Faith, Hope, and Love
To show their faces
A nation that still expects
Brown and Black skinned people
To think their place is
On the other side;
Of town
Of borders
Of prison cells
Where they can make no demands that their lives matter
Now is the time
For Christ to rise again
In our hearts
Clearing out the temple
Writing names in the sand…
Let this be the Sunday
Let it be our plan
