Get Off Your Knees and DO Something

I write this to you Christianity

What matters more

that we pray for

or feed the hungry

the flow of manna from heaven

today is nowhere to be seen

other than where it is with the help

from the hand of man

Was it not to be shared with all of gods chosen

by your word, your savior came to save all

his father fed them in the wilderness

he fed them on the mount

yet many die today of starvation

why must even one go hungry

This world has a glut of food

all it needs is to be shared

distributed to those in need

yet so much is thrown away

I guess it's less expensive letting it go to waste

when the bottom line is your desired taste

I have to wonder

those who feel that need to pray

and then do nothing to help

do they not see

that they are the answer

for what they pray for

their hearts would not have been touched

if they weren't

Or is it just more of the same lip service

Even if we were just to sit down

and share half of our sandwich

we would be helping them

renewing their faith

restoring their spirit

helping to ease their pangs of hunger

prayers without works

my friend, they're dead

as your heart is unchanged

where is your head

do you not understand

you've been called to good works

to help and feed others

should be looked on as perks

never a burden

rewards then received

as smiles grace a face

with their hunger relieved
