Shall We Find Out? (A Prayer For Restorative Justice)




If I call you stupid

Will that make you smart?

If you call me a bully

Will that make me kind?

If I speak first

Will that keep you from talking?

If you go on and on and on 

Will that make me understand?

If we call ourselves religious,

Will  God be on everyone’s side?

Shall we find out?


What happens if we listen 

To understand?

What happens if we differ 

And the world continues to turn?

What happens if we learn

To live with discomfort?

What happens if we love each other

Even if we disagree?

What happens if we admit 

That sometimes we are wrong?

Shall we find out?


Amen
