Protect this House

Underarmor shouldn't have
the corner on protection
with commitment and passion.

Sport is not the only place
where goals of an opponent
must be actively denied.

When fear and anxiety creep
into our religious rituals,
when hatred and xenophobia

wend their way into our lived theologies,
we must rise with voices in harmony
and proclaim, "Not in this house!"

Ours is a place where Justice's
only allegiance is to Truth;
where Peace understands

that she is not a commodity
held and controlled only by a few,
but must be owned by all.
