I find myself feeling the weight of the time, heavy over us all,

Israel

Gaza

Haiti

Afghanistan

Libya

Iraq

Pakistan

Myanmar

Sudan

Mali

Venezuela

…and then…

The crisis of leadership in my own country,

No Speaker of the House of Representatives,

Old White Men lining up to run for President again,

Meanwhile the people everywhere, we wonder,

We wonder,

And we resolve as the struggles rage on,

Let us hope,

Let us hope.
