Pennsylvania Lawmaker Prays for God’s Forgiveness Before First Muslim Woman Sworn In as Representative

Dear God

forgive my ignorance

in promoting suspicion

and fear

instead of hope and trust

*

may my hands

lose their cunning

when it comes to

writing any more trash

to speak

*

give me the grace and wit

to wait for more

inspiration

and less

damnation

*

forgive my agendas, O Lord,

and lead me not into

self righteous bigotry

forever and ever
