In everyone

In everyone - a poem by Kevin Redpath

I don’t believe we are
a sick society
I don’t believe we are
a broken society.

I believe we are
a complex society,
a fragile society,
a beautiful society.

I believe we are capable
of deep self-healing.
I believe in the father
who spoke so eloquently
after losing
his much loved son.

I believe in the armies
of broom holders,
rubble clearers,
and tea makers.

I believe in all
the unwitnessed acts
of kindness
and compassion
that bind
communities together.

I believe in
that of God.
