Forgive us Oh Father!
The Lord's feet -
Do we have to say anything more?
Our father, our mother, our friend,
Our kith and kin, Know-how, knowledge, wisdom,
Wealth and riches,
Our very being and our otherness-
How could they have driven nails of cruelty
Into those feet of tenderness and kindness?
Jesus, you bled for the entire humanity.
We bleed one another to death
And delight in the miseries of others.
Are we the reincarnation of your torturers?
I dread to think.
Lead us thou kindly light.
