Nano day 7: A hymn

Trigger warning for this one folks. Police brutality, climate change, sexual assault. Nothing graphic but it's a definite bummer.


A Hymn for thanks:
Give thanks to the sewage pipe
Pouring with abundance into the clear river.
Give thanks to the oil rig
Pulling the dark oil out of the most sacred places of the earth.
Give thanks to the monocrop-er
Pouring their poisons freely onto their green fields
Give thanks to the hands of the few
Grabbing for the livelihoods of the many
Give thanks to the judges in the courts
Defending rapists and persecuting based on skin color
Give thanks for the guns of the police
Mowing down the innocent black folk

For these things I give thanks
May god, in his infinite glory
May god, in his infinite wisdom
Save us.

Give thanks that no one is coming to save us but ourselves.
