Faith
Hope
People
A hero
Oscar Romero
Protecting poor, oppressed people
From unimaginable hatred and violence
Dying but not killing, denying guns their power, risking the violence of love
Conserving tradition at first for the greatest, seeing through your glasses at last for the least, feeling the hunger of unpaid workers, knowing poverty
Holding the tears of the disappeared, calling all to view the body of a slain priest
Building up humanity, tearing down injustice
“In the name of God, stop killing...”
Death, crucifixion
Life again
People
Love
Peace
- Trevor Scott Barton, Fibonacci Poems, 2019
