Advocacy is listening
and reflecting what is heard –
an apostle is full of mercy.
The world is a noisy place
full of sound and fury
and quiet is hard to come by.
Desperate to be left alone,
solo silos are created…
rendering all senseless.
So, chaos abounds
and discord reins
with desolation for the horizon.
The world is a noisy place
full of sound and fury
and quiet is hard to come by
Eager to have peace
some listen intently…
leading to communion.
So, harmony ensues
and order cultivates
consolation and possibility.
The world is a noisy place
full of sound and fury
but stillness makes rest assured.
Trusting the process
sacrifice makes change happen –
that’s apostolic compassion.
