On the Eve of Obama’s Inauguration

You asked for hope.
We gave it.
You promise change.
We look forward to it.

America.
Come together.
Be the place
And the people
Who:

Protect and shelter the wanderer in the dark.
Care for those who most need you.
Offer hope to future generations,
And leave them a land, a planet, a place
That is not polluted, violent, and full of rapacity.

Amen.
