Prayers and Thoughts
Pray for the Churches
For the people and the dancers
Who sing here and beyond
Pray for action
To change the future
Near and far
Words only
Take nowhere
Just to fears and tears
Do something
Before the Sun fails and falls
Do something
Before the Nation sinks
Into dark, uncertain, seas
So, and now
Care and act
Otherwise history
If it is to remember you at all
Will see you
As the failed caretaker
Who escapes to the East
As the Country
Weeps and bleeds
Waiting for others
To take action
Praised they will be
For all the ages to come
