I remember hearing "God is a verb" and
it paused me--doing, being.
Righteousness is acts,
and faith without works is dead.
"You will know them
by their fruits"--
some exceptional, without blemish,
beautiful to the eye
and honey on the tongue.
We can see a whited sepulcher
and know what lies therein,
because you know a grave from a buffet.
Anyway--
the heart of democracy is a verb--
to be aware and free.
We vote with our hearts
our hands, and our feet.
It is a doing. And the work
must always be done,
or what gets done is
WE.
