INTERRUPT

A poem...

INTERRUPT

Interrupt this unjust poverty

Interrupt this ridiculous wealth

Interrupt the board room

Interrupt the department of health

Interrupt the cultural void

Interrupt the pop chart

Interrupt the end of the world

Interrupt the earth’s new start.

May I never rest without a doubt

‘Til the Sermon on the Mount gets adopted

May I deny myself, take up my cross

‘Til the entire universe is grace interrupted.

Interrupt all I can’t afford

Interrupt what I needlessly buy

Interrupt every new hello

Interrupt the pain of goodbye

Interrupt the vocation confusion

Interrupt all these ambitions

Interrupt every false perspective

Interrupt our dreams and visions.

May I never rest without a doubt

‘Til the Sermon on the Mount gets adopted

May I deny myself, take up my cross

‘Til the entire universe is grace interrupted.

Interrupt the image in the mirror

Interrupt all judgement of others

Interrupt the walls between us

Interrupt how we treat my brothers

Interrupt sectarian stereotypes

Interrupt all the colours of skin

Interrupt my religious arrogance

Interrupt the damnation of sin.

May I never rest without a doubt

‘Til the Sermon on the Mount gets adopted

May I deny myself, take up my cross

‘Til the entire universe is grace interrupted.
