I Am Still............

(A thought provoking piece)

I was hungry and you formed a committee to discuss my hunger,
I was imprisoned and you crept off to your chapel to pray for my release,
I was naked and in your mind you debated my morality,
I was sick and you prayed God thanking him for your health,
I was homeless and you preached to me of the spiritual shelter found in the love of God,
I was lonely and you left me alone to go pray for me,
You seem so holy, so close to God…
But I am still… very hungry, and lonely, and cold.

What the Bible says in Mat. 25:35-40

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
