We are determined to build a society defined by decency and integrity that does not tolerate the plunder of public resources nor the theft by corporate criminals of the hard-earned savings of ordinary people.

Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer, and then itself marches upon neighboring lands, killing thousands and pillaging the very hills?

To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname empire; and where they make a wilderness, they call it peace.

Plunderous is the palate I gift to you, openly I hug the universe of our friendship expanding its outer limit.

Let us be today's Christians. Let us not take fright at the boldness of today's church. With Christ's light let us illuminate even the most hideous caverns of the human person: torture, jail, plunder, want, chronic illness. The oppressed must be saved, not with a revolutionary salvation, in mere human fashion, but with the holy revolution of the Son of Man, who dies on the cross to cleanse God's image, which is soiled in today's humanity, a humanity so enslaved, so selfish, so sinful.

Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer and then itself marches upon neighboring lands killing thousands and pillaging the very hills?

To plunder to slaughter to steal these things they misname empire and where they make a wilderness they call it peace.

Plunderous is the palate I gift to you openly I hug the universe of our friendship expanding its outer limit.
