Let
Easter come
So
that the rapist can choose not to rape
So
that the oppressors can lift their foot off of necks
So
that embezzlers can give back the money.
Let
our Resurrection roll out
So
that the hated can know love
So
that the killers can crave life
So
that the lonely can find family.
Let
our Redemption flow free
So
that the coyotes unpack their trailers
So
that the embittered can forgive
So
that the embattled can find rest.
Let
our Restoration rebuild
So
that the sick may be made well
So
that the sad find joy again
So
that the children stop learning war.
Let
our Redemption pay
So
that the pusher finds honest work
So
that the pornographer learns respect
So
that the greedy long to give.
Yes,
let our Easter rise!
