A Psalm of the Unheard

by David Drury, 2025

Hear my prayer; take heed our cries.

Evil finds favor in halls of justice,

but the righteous serve fifteen, or even thirty.

The rebellious receive mercy upon mercy.

Your enemies win; your allies fail.

First, our creed recedes; then nothing succeeds like greed.

The one without need easily ignores the one who bleeds.

I’ve noticed the meek have yet to inherit the earth.

They’re harassed and helpless, demeaned and deported.

Will the Lord be their shepherd in detention camps?

Intelligence that is artificial and stolen

is given honor and special status.

Intelligence that is human and earned

is somehow spurned among us.
