With lines from "Church vs. State" by Adam Willis & Eloisa Lopez, a Pulitzer reporting project

Time & time again,

The history of hatred rears its head,

Lazarus, the living dead,

resurrected by Christ,

Occupying a vague space, 

Somewhere between Activist, Journalist, & Minister,

Time & time again,

Government loses its wisdom,

Harming, not helping,

Around us, Killing fields, the slums of Manila

A rusted .38,

Damnation, persecution,

Evidence and reason thrown aside,

Time & time again,

A hero, 

in the name of the Catholic Church,

Ordinary people, 

doing the extraordinary in the name of kindness,

The true people of God, 

The heroes this world so sorely needs.
