Description
Poem: Without love
Could it be that we are so convinced that we are Christians
that we cannot see our lack of true compassion?
Proud preachers parade their words in public,
but privately can be prone to apathy.
Richly robed religious leaders ride alongside royalty
and rearrange reality to sanction their regime.
Healers hold out hope in hollow hands,
but can be hesitant about hands-on helping.
Spiritual souls shine showily in sacred situations,
but can be slower when in simple service.
Charitable church-goers count their coins and contribute cheques,
but are cautious about the call to full commitment.
