We are weaklings, we are unable, there is no hope

When we call in the experts and they are not us, then we are saying We are weaklings, we are unable, come save us! When we strike out at others and sell drugs and steal, then we are saying We are frustrated, there is nothing ordinary we can do, we want you to suffer too, because we are weaklings, we are unable, and you would not come and save us!

No, it is not simply saying we have in the room the best heads: it is saying What vision can we have? What is possible? For if we can imagine, we can work toward that, and something better is possible. If we will not give our hearts and heads to visioning us, then there is no hope.

But we know there is hope, or none of us would be working.

Our visions are too small

Our visions are too small
dead crumpled bills
to spend upon trinkets
—dreary crumpled dyings—
we could for the same cost
—but not investment—
have a new earth

G*d cries

What is it you want me to do? the believer cries—
What is it you must do? in reply G*d cries.
