(Tired) Thoughts on Justice...

Today I got really upset.
Wanting justice.
Wanting to see the Lord move in all his righteousness.
I guess sometimes I forget that his justice is more than my
black and white, childlike fairness (if brother gets 2, I get 2).
God's righteousness is holy.


She sits smiling with
Secrets in her eyeball
No one's watching
But she sees light
No one's listening
But she hears love
No one's noticing
But there are angels in the TV

song about JUSTICE
for you,
my sister.

Links to a Caedmon's Call song
called "The Innocent's Corner"

check the lyrics:

Huddled in the light of a cellular billboard
A family of four is a nation at war
In her head are the echoes of weeping
Of children the Sunday before

The promises made by her father
Are no match for hunger's incline

And she fell to her knees as she cried
In the Innocent's corner I'll hide
You came around and lifter her up
with the angels beside
Would she be denied?

Ours is a land with a terrible shortage
Of harvests to share and breathable air
And a reason to live could be too hard to find
Like a wage or a dime

But we sit here - debating
the meaning of justice
With self-righteous spin
and an upper caste grin
We're still - suffocating
on quicksand indifference
Where no choice is ever that hard

And she fell to her knees as she cried
In the Innocent's corner she'll hide
You came around and lifted her up with the angels beside

The promises made by her Father
Would curb any hunger inside

And she fell to her knees as she cried
In the Innocent's corner she'll hide
You came around and lifted her up
with the angels beside

and just in case you are wondering:
hey - what's Zoe's favorite song??
