DUST
DID THE NAZIS
THINK THEY WERE DOING
GOD’S WILL
WHEN THEY TRIED
TO REDUCE
THE JEWISH
POPULATION TO ASHES
FOR GOD HAD SAID TO ABRAHAM
I WILL MAKE YOUR OFFSPRING
LIKE THE DUST OF THE EARTH,
SO THAT IF ANYONE COULD COUNT THE DUST
THEN YOUR OFFSPRING
COULD BE COUNTED
A GRUESOME THOUGHT
BUT HITLER
HAD SAID
TO CHURCH LEADERS
WHEN ASKED
HIS RACIAL POLICIES
I WILL DO NOTHING
THAT THE CHURCHES
HAVE NOT DONE
FOR TWO THOUSAND YEARS
THEY THOUGHT
AS LONG AS HE DOESN’T
TOUCH OUR SCHOOLS
A CATECHISM
FOR A SOUL
WHAT A BARGAIN
I HEARD
A SERMON
ABOUT DWINDLING CHURCH MEMBERSHIP
PERHAPS
IT’S TIME
TO REPLACE THE OLD
WITH A NEW CHURCH
BASED ON THE SIMPLE
CARPENTER’S MESSAGE
WHAT SO EVER YOU DO
TO THE LEAST
OF MY BROTHERS
THAT YOU DO UNTO ME
OR AS HILLEL SAID IT
A CENTURY EARLIER
THAT WHICH IS HATEFUL TO YOU
DO NOT DO TO YOUR NEIGHBOR
THAT IS THE WHOLE TORAH
THE REST IS COMMENTARY
GO AND STUDY IT
WE SPEND THE TIME
FEEDING THE HUNGRY
HOUSING THE HOMELESS
AND NEVER ASK
WHY
THEY ARE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS
IT SEEMS TO ME
A CHURCH
SHOULD BE ACTIVE
TO MAKE A BETTER SOCIETY
RATHER THAN A RESCUE MISSION
I THINK
THE NEW CHURCHES
WHICH ARE SUCCESSFUL
ARE WONDERFUL CLOISTERS
BUT OF WHAT EARTHLY GOOD ARE THEY
IF THEY GIVE THE HUNGRY
ROSARIES
AND THE HOMELESS
BOXES
GIVE US LORD
A NEW VISION
FOR THE DAY IS DYING
AND WE ARE FAR FROM HOME
