Luke 6:24-26


Woe to us
Who think your words
Are for the top 2%


I have more 
Than one coat
When someone borrows
From me
I want it back


I am well fed
I have money
For groceries
(without SNAP)
And I eat in
Restaurants


I have more shows
On TV
Than I can ever possibly
Watch


I go to movies
I go to shows
I go to parties
… I have much
To make me laugh


I enjoy affirmation
I want people to like me
I do not want to be hated
In this life


But you don’t want to take away
Our food
Our clothing
Our laughter
Our positive experiences


That’s not what you mean


You want us to want as much
For others
As we want for ourselves


Luke 6:24-26
