Even Now (Joel 2:12-13)

Even now,

with all your turning away,

with your denials

and betrayals.

Even now,

with the hatred we immerse ourselves in,

with the scars

we inflict

on each other.

Even now,

with wars fought

and villages plundered,

with children murdered

and our streets flowing with blood.

Even now,

He looks down

upon the chaos of our lives,

and says,

"Return to me".

Fast, weep and mourn,

tear your garments

if you need a sign,

but know

that you can return,

even now.
