excuses
“what in the hell is everybody being reasonable about?” June Jordan there is no excuse for yanking children’s hands from their parents trying to cross the border. the crime is ours. there is no excuse for the 12 year old in the target parking lot raising money for his nonexistent graduation. the crime is ours. there is no excuse for her jail time/the bail set over her kids heads/so high/the crime is ours. when we pray we should not pray for anyone’s soul on the street/behind bars/collecting change/ we should pray for all of us with soft lit kitchens and sleepy pajama clad children/and no courage tonight.
