A Poem

A hungry man begs for money to buy food,
but is offered a cup of coffee in return
An angry woman testifies of salvation received,
but forgives no one
A man sits in a prison he constructed,
and nobody comes to visit him
And a thirsty village drinks dirty water

A naked couple, ashamed and embarrassed,
cover up their need for clothes
A sick woman is taken to a doctor,
prayed for, forgotten, and dies
A strange man wonders into a group of people,
but is given no place to rest
And a thirsty village drinks dirty water

A lonely widow gives away her last penny,
but nobody cares or notices
A child full of God's Kingdom
is left abandoned and plays alone
A gentlemen who once felt love
is now loved by no one
And a thirsty village drinks dirty water
