Blessed Holy Wholeness,
As we sit here at our Seder table
At this lovely gathering, waiting
For the wonderful meal to come,
We mourn the cruelty
Of the current Pharaoh and his followers.
We grieve the indifference to
The hunger and need of millions,
The murder of innocents,
The threats of deprivation,
The abandonment of democracy
And the fear of tomorrow.
May our personal joy not be lost
In our awareness of all this pain
Even as we eat and drink and pray.
And may we tell our stories
And remember our true selves
And never let anyone shut us up.
Amen
