The poem, titled “Even as Corruption Festers, We Live for Your Any-Moment Return,” is a brief, spirited cry rooted in steadfast belief. Addressed to “O Lord,” it confronts the corruption troubling a nation, yet draws unshakable strength from the hope of an imminent divine arrival. The speaker emphasizes how this expectation—”that you could come any day”—drives them forward through their concern. The final line, “You are our hope,” surges as an exuberant shout of faith, an unwavering crescendo proclaiming the Lord as the triumphant source of their enduring trust.

O Lord,
Even in the midst
Of our nation’s corruption,
What keeps us going
Is that you could come
Any day.
You are our hope.
