A Poem from a Writer in Malawi

Listen, Christian…

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

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

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 good 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 very close to God
but I am still very hungry, cold and lonely
and I thank you…
