The World Has Changed
The world has changed.
Wake up & smell the possibility.
The world has changed:
It did not change without your prayers
Without your faith
Without your determination to believe in liberation & kindness
Without your dancing through the years that had no beat.
The world has changed:
It did not change without your numbers
Your fierce love of self & cosmos
It did not change without your strength.
The world has changed: Wake up!
Give yourself the gift of a new day.
The world has changed:
This does not mean you were never hurt.
The world has changed:
Rise! Yes & Shine!
Resist the siren call of disbelief.
The world has changed:
Don't let yourself remain asleep to it.
(From Hard Times Require Furious Dancing by Alice Walker.)
Gracious God of growth and change, we thank You for the accomplishments of the legislature, and for their ongoing commitment to pursuing liberty and justice for all.—AMEN
