John the Baptist, with his perceptive preaching on social issues of his time, is a model for all who would stand up for justice in our day.
BE LIKE JOHN: NO SHAKING REED!
Rushes quivered in the breeze,
as the prophet, fearlessly,
censured all who lived at ease
in uncaring luxury.
And injustices today,
seen where many hurt and bleed?
Stand up boldly! Have your say!
Be like John: no shaking reed!
