Your Real Name

comfort, distraction, and the pursuit of placation
that’s the gospel which names you king.
ambition, pictures, scrolling through facebook.
addict, who sleeps in designer dreams.
gaza, russia, famine, disease
slipped into hash-tags. at last we care
beyond what we want. amazon prime.
consumer. diagnosed. balloon without air.

but my friend
hold fast to the flickering heart
there's a light, a hope, a life, a love,
a voice that comes beyond the noise.
calling a name you haven't yet heard.
your real name. Beloved.
