What really goes on behind closed doors?
Behind landscaped lawns and middle class homes?
Behind any home for that matter, rich or poor?
When did this thing called community disappear?
When did we fall so far into selfness, deaf to hear the
Cries of the hungry, cries of the poor – physically, emotionally, spiritually?
Where do we go from here? How do we get back?
How do we move forward? How do we unlock the front doors of others,
Or dare step out of our own? First steps do terrify us much.
Why do we not see one another? Why do we neglect the life essentials,
Like truth and love and genuine care? Why do we cling to professional credentials
while boring straight through and staring beyond the masterpieces of God?
Much is at stake in these thoughtless times where apathy reigns
And striving gains us so much but so little. We’re building castles and dreams to the sky
while we fail to see what, to know when, to go where, much less bother asking why.
