romero 11







What beautiful coffee groves,

what fine cane and cotton fields,

what farms, what lands God has given us !

Nature is so beautiful !


But we see it groan

under oppression,

under wickedness,

under injustice,

under abuse,

and the church feels its pain.


Nature looks for a liberation

that will not be mere material well-being

but God’s act of power.


God will free nature

from sinful human hands,

and along with the redeemed

it will sing a hymn of joy

to God the Liberator.



[11.12.1977]
