hard for me, an advocate
learning the same lesson
to trust, to believe in God
turning things over
to God in prayer
wanting to speak, to cry out
to bark at the injustice
the continuation of the pain
the unresolved issues
a cloud yet remaining
but it is not my place to
speak
needing other actors
those with greater knowledge
to step into the breach
and speak truth to power
hard for me, an advocate
to trust other players
those who could have
corrected the wrong
having been let down often
enough
the injustices remaining
learning the same lesson
because I am so stubborn
to trust, to believe in God
turning things over
to God in prayer

is that good men do nothing.”
