Let Easter Come!

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!
