Still no room in the inn?

I was hungry
and you formed a humanities club and discussed my hunger.
Thank you.

I was imprisoned
and you crept off quietly
to your chapel in the cellar and prayed for my release.

I was naked
and in your mind
you debated the morality of my appearance.

I was sick
and you knelt
and thanked God for your health.

I was homeless
and you preached to me
of the spiritual shelter
of the love of God.

I was lonely
and you left me alone
to pray for me.

You seem so holy;
So close to God.
But I’m still very hungry,
and lonely, and cold….
