the start of Holy Week
Jesus went into the temple
flipping over the money changers tables
an act
shining a light
on the economic explotation
of the poor
a moment
in a story
often easily
forgotten
Jesus calls us
to divest
from fossil fuels
profiting from wrecking the planet, is wrong
Jesus calls us
to demand
housing justice
on the thousands of homes being foreclosed
Jesus calls us
to stand against ICE
increasing targeting, harassment, and disenfranchisement of
immigrants and refugees
Jesus calls us
to demand
free COVID19 testing
for all people
not just the politicians or movie stars
but for
the marginalized, the homeless & people of color
let us turn over tables
crying out for the injustices
found in our communties
to be changed
