We were assigned to write out a "Psalm of Complaint" about something in particular that we wanted to lament to God.
Nothing is hidden from you, oh God. But, why do you hide the truth from your people? Why do you let lies spread like a blanket over a pile of shit? We can smell. We can remember it, but we cannot show it to the world.
Why does the despot retain his throne? You have taken the jewels from his crown, and most of his kingdom is scattered. But still he retains his castle. Still he presides over an impoverished and diseased realm.
Reveal the Truth! Overthrow the haughty scholar. I am daily reminded of their bold injustice. Remind them, my God, of me!
Do not let the tears of your children go untended. Do not let the blood of your daughter go unavenged. Remember us. Make them remember us.
