day 253

“Surely one does not turn against the needy,

    when in disaster they cry for help.”  Job 30:24

 

we talk a good game,

we have good intentions,

we are pretty sure we know

what we are supposed to do,

but

when you see us

putting the compassion jar

up on the highest shelf

so the vulnerable cannot

begin to reach it,

you

see us for who

we really

are
