Passover is near

Lent 3 - Year B

Passover is always near
we are so trapped by systems
only an unexpected fire
can start a new journey

I know you
you are Moses
stammering murderer
still excusing yourself

you are to go
to the seat of power
with a full upset of plagues
to bring new health

I know you
you are Jesus
parabolic agitator
still zealously you

you are to go
to the seat of power
upsetting transactions
to raise new life

I know you
you are who you are
I am who I am
we will be . . .

we are to go
to the seat of power
analyze the marketplace
and offer common-wealth
