Visionaries,
prophets,
plain-speaking folks,
they are the “Whistle Blowers”
for the community of faith.
They shine
a light on us
and call us to face
our sins
as they shove
mirrors
close
so that the breath
of our hypocrisy
fogs
the reflection
while we seek
to hide
from the fearsome sight
and close our ears
to the shrill scream
of the whistles.
-Joy Stalvey Barefoot
