true leftist empath here, Jesus very clearly evidences the belief that the precondition to brotherly love is the elimination of economic stratification, which he expected us to do here and now to instantiate the kingdom of God

I am the flood that will not be refused.
I am the song that could not be silenced.
I am the story that could not buried.
I am the feast that was promised.
I am the storm that returns what was taken.
I am the world that is coming.
I am the world made whole.
March 5, 2025 at 12:54 AM
I am the step that does not falter,
the drum that does not cease.

I am the hunger that is holy,
the fire that does not burn out.

I am the hands that do not break,
that do not bow, that do not beg.

I am the wind through the halls of the empty palace.

until the day no home is locked, 

no street is haunted,
no breath is sold, 

no name is forgotten,
until the day the last gate is torn from its hinges 

and the last price tag stripped from the world—
March 5, 2025 at 12:54 AM
Until the day no belly is emptied to fill another man’s pockets,
until the day no hand reaches and finds only the cold,
until the day no child learns the weight of debt before the weight of love,

And so I make myself a blade against despair.
I do not let grief soften me into something that bends.
I do not let rage make my hands reckless.
I do not let longing make me turn away.
I do not wait for beauty before I set the table.
I do not wait for victory before I build.

My love is for the ones 

who have had everything taken 

and still find a way 

to give.


For the ones who 

hold up the weight of the world and 

do not let it crush them.


For the ones who are told 

to wait, 

to kneel, 

to lower their voices—
and do not.

My love is for the teacher 

sliding an apple across a desk,
pretending not to notice when 

the child slips it into their bag.


My love is for the boy 
at the bus stop 

in a jacket too thin for the season,
reading a book he will not put down, 

not even to wipe his nose.

My love is for the man in the grocery store,
counting change in his palm,
who sets down the butter 

and takes the eggs instead.
My love is for the woman outside the clinic,
rubbing her arms against the cold,
whispering how

she’ll figure it out.
March 5, 2025 at 12:54 AM
My love is for the father 

who does not let exhaustion make him cruel,
who still kneels at his son’s bedside 

after a fourteen-hour day,
who still listens to his daughter 

tell him about the dream she had,
who does not say, 

I am too tired to hear you.
March 5, 2025 at 12:54 AM
My love is for the mother 

who eats less so her children can eat more,
who presses the crust of her bread 

into the broth and swallows it 

slowly,
who stands in line at the food pantry 

before heading to work,
who braids her daughter’s hair 

with hands cracked from the cold.
March 5, 2025 at 12:54 AM
who drink water to quiet their stomach 

before stepping into kitchens 

and warehouses 

and checkout lines
where the air is thick 

with yesterday’s exhaustion.
March 5, 2025 at 12:54 AM
My love is for the ones 

who wake before the sun,
who rise in darkness
to put on the same clothes as yesterday,
who lace their shoes tight, 

ignoring the ache in their feet,
March 5, 2025 at 12:54 AM
I will love the wind 

when it is not laced with 

the sting of tear gas,
when it does not carry 

the sound of boots on pavement,
when it does not move through 

a city that has been 

gutted of its poor, swept clean 

for tourists, scrubbed 

sterile for wealth.

But until then—
March 5, 2025 at 12:54 AM
I will love the sky 

when there are none that it forbids,
when it does not hang 

heavy over prison yards,
when it is not crosshatched with smoke 

from burning homes,
when no one spotting overhead

the shape of a drone

is forced
to run
