When safetyBecomes another word for hate, And hate Infects the dialogue of creation - When creation expresses Only the darker nature of our souls, And we de-cohere in fear From any unity we may have found - When we stand alone Against, Forgetting what it means To stand together For.

For being human, Being fully human, Was never about being safe, But the risks we take In the name of grace To find strength beyond our fear.
