Of ourselves
I dare say this:
If the shelves
Are full we're
Satisfied; if not
We are the ones
Who feel depleted and
Ruined by poverty. What
Had we done wrong? What
Did we do or not do,
To have this shame visited
On us? Weren't we good
To the kids? Hadn't we tithed
In the manner prescribed for us?
Would that be a vindictive God
Handing out harsh treatments as
Tests of faith? Had we been praying
Correctly, using the right name: "YHWH?"
An answer, as yet,
Has not been shouted
From the void.
