Justice called me to speak
And I will not be silenced.
Resisting the Spirit fails, see?
Every knee and tongue will shout
Never ending wonder and praise—
Awe in the Divine’s awesome presence.
Let the boys try to stop me.
Every man will know God’s in
Every damn woman too.
POET’S NOTE:
An acrostic Scorched Sunday poem. Part of my Scorched Strays collection. This piece confronts the silencing of women’s voices in spiritual spaces and rejects the false authority that claims the Divine speaks through only one kind of body. Some fire does not destroy…it reveals.
