we join in moving forward
to a life of action, not
merely of words
to change our lives, the
lives we will now live
informed about our past, the
legacy which we are a part
the living out of a life of
faith, more worthy
of the creed we hold dear,
aware
of the pain which we have
caused, that we yet cause
in the uninformed life, in
our blindness
our former life revealed,
laid bare,
the sin we must never
forget, repenting
of our former lives, our
legacy, and the cloak
the burden of the legacy of
our ancestors
those who have gone before
us, the harm
they may have caused, our
complicit legacy
shaken off forevermore, to
be empowered,
emboldened to seek justice,
under
the living light, the grace
of our God
