Moralists
(archbishops included)
can thunder away as much as they like;
but they’ll make no difference
unless and until people see
that there is something transforming
and
exhilarating about the prospect
of a whole community
rejoicing together –
being glad of each other’s happiness
and safety.
This alone
is what will save us
from the traps
of ludicrous financial greed,
of environmental recklessness,
of collective fear of strangers
and
collective contempt
for the unsuccessful
and marginal –
and many more things
that we see far too much of,
around us
and
within us.
LOVE IT LOVE IT
