Even Now (Joel 2:12-13)




Even now,
with all our turning away,
with our 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 to show repentance,
but know
that you can return,
even now.
