You Have Given This Mayhem Your Blessing



Dear Members of Congress, and President Trump,
You have given this mayhem, this terror, this violence your blessing.  By doing nothing--year after year, curse after curse--you have sanctified the murderous rage of unholy men.  By taking money from the NRA and its grim and gruesome leaders--money you build empires on--you have commissioned bitter and broken souls to slaughter children.  In churches, for God's sake!

You have proven yourself unworthy of the Constitution, I fear, and unworthy of our trust.  Do we not have the right to pursue happiness?  Do we not have the right to representation untainted by the rotten stink of lobbyists who pay for automatic weaponry in schools and churches, in city squares and concert halls?

Tonight I pray for you, my friends, and for your souls.  You have given this mayhem, this violence your blessing.  God have mercy on us all.
