our God in the margin
help us cast away your marginality!
let your rule move in from the margin
let the distress of the marginalized
be our prime concern
as it is yours in heaven!
prevent us daily stealing food from the
margin
forgiving our ignorance of past plundering
even as we begin, now, to release a little
from the middle
disturb us when we are complacent of the
margin
delivering us from our selfish affluence
for sovereignty belongs to those in the
margin
for they dictate my faith, my practice
and even my seat in the hereafter
now, and always. Amen.
