I have few resources
Often only kindness
And the will to not be inured
To the sorrow of the mourners
And the cries of the injured
I shall not keep to silence
Nor allow bigotry to be ignored
I shall seek no answers in violence
In pursuit of grace much can be endured
I shall make a quiet strong alliance
Between peace and love letting both be heard
In a voice even, but full of defiance
Against wrong thought and action
Committed via both deed and word
Gene G. McLaughlin 2015
Note-
Something I wrote to remember both how sad and outraged I was last week in South Carolina, but also how inspired I was by the survivors families in Charleston and their capacity for grace and forgiveness.
