Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. When Paris is bombed, we all are attacked. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. We mourn for our brothers and sisters who died. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. We’re fragile and vulnerable, broken and angry. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. Our freedom and affluence have not kept us safe. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. Our gated communities have not kept us safe. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. Our rifles and pistols have not kept us safe. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. Our homeland security has not kept us safe. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. Our border defenses have not kept us safe. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. Our satellite spying has not kept us safe. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. Our drones and our prisons have not kept us safe. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. Our Pentagon budget has not kept us safe. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. Our money and power have not kept us safe. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. We live with injustice and still call for peace. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. We’re arrogant, haughty, judgmental, and scared. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. We have met the enemy, and they are us. Deliver us now from our hatred and fear. Amen, Amin, Ameyn.
