I was hungry…

I was hungry … and you formed a humanities group to discuss my hunger. I was imprisoned, … and you crept off quietly to your chapel and prayed for my release. I was naked, … and in your mind you debated the morality of my appearance. I was sick, … and you knelt and thanked God for your health. I was homeless, … and you preached to me of the spiritual shelter of the love of God. I was lonely … and you left me alone to pray for me. You seem so holy, so close to God … but I am still very hungry – and lonely – and cold.
