WITHOUT A MOUTH
Sticks and stones and broken bones -
without a mouth, without a shout….
Someone needs to speak up, to come
up with words, with a shout out about
the dangers of weapons - from rocks
to Molotov cocktails - to assault rifles
with dozens and dozens of clips of
bullets - that can kill dozens and dozens
of people in minutes. Where is Isaiah?
Where is Joel? Where is Micah? Where
are the prophets who seem to scream to
plow all this money back into the land?
Where is Jesus screaming to put down the
swords - to sit down with bread and wine -
to speak words of peace with one’s enemies?
Cf. Isaiah 2:4; Joel 4:10; Micah 4:3;
Matthew 26:52; John
18:11
