 All Are Hungry |
Who am I to deem who is worthy or not? I welcome the finches, the chickadees, Cardinals and grosbeaks to the feeder I shoo away the bluejays who are feisty and aggressive The grackles who are black and ugly The crows who are too big and too raucous There may not be enough even though all are hungry Who are we to deem who is worthy or not Of refuge, housing, healthcare, Respect, dignity and even life itself? We welcome the white-skinned ones The ones who declare themselves Christian The pretty, the wealthy and powerful We shoo away the colored-skinned ones, The ones who worship God by a different name, The dirty, the immigrants and helpless There is enough, and all are hungry Sallie Bachar (Used with Permission) |
