Too
long silent
too
slow to act
sitting
on the sidelines
our
family hurting
but
now is a time for justice
to
say no to power
standing
with our sister
a
line drawn in the sand
dropping
our own stones of judgment
laying
them down
knowing
we aren’t worthy
seeking
reconciliation
not
making her the lamb
