and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
to make them sit with princes,
with the princes of his people." Psalm 113:7-8
to make them sit with princes,
with the princes of his people." Psalm 113:7-8
we spent the day
picking up the tux,
getting our hair done,
grabbing a quick bite
at the fast food joint,
and as we walk into
the gilded ballroom, we
smile wide in delight
at our being invited
to such a special occasion,
until we notice
the cleaner we ignored,
the stylist we didn't tip,
the fellow who cleaned
up our mess at the burger joint
being seated at the head table,
while you come up with
an armful of towels,
handing them to us, saying,
'get busy. there's a lot
of dirty dishes in the kitchen.'
