Welcoming the Stranger

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat

I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink

I was a stranger, and you invited me in

I needed clothes, and you clothed me

I was sick, and you looked after me

I was in prison, and you came to visit me.

Then the righteous will answer him

'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you

or thirsty, and give you something to drink?

when did we see you a stranger, and invite you in

or needing clothes, and clothe you?

When did we see you sick

or in prison, and go to visit you?'.

The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you

whatever you did for one

of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine

you did for me.'

In faithful response to Jesus' kind loving message

we fight the illegal immigrant, she's undocumented

the refugee who lost everything she's got

single-family detached-home, hubby and kids

- all gone with the wind

bystanders bombarded with projectiles

WMD grenades made-in-the-USA, Chlorine gas

their own fault who the fuck do they think they are

being precisely at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Let's get the Hell of here

the refugee is badly hit, and runs away

trusting on some genuine humanity

of her rich global village neighbors

but the arrogant Muslim neighbor

in Saudi Arabia sends her away, in cold blood

'is not enough trash already overpopulating

my 10-star hotel Sterling silver garbage bin?'

Fortunately, compassionate Christian neighbors

in the G-8 banana republic of the EU & the USA

do welcome the poor refugee

heart-melting, almost humane rhetorics

enhanced with electrocuting iron gates

Mexican walls, paid by low-cost refugees

low EQ Gestapo immigration officers

and a general population, stubbornly refusing

to get 'swamped' by their Muslim brothers

aggressive suicide bombers & wife beaters.

When it's YOUR turn to become a refugee

sister, believe me it's a When - not an If

don't trust in nobody - Jesus is out for lunch

your hubby's dead, nobody else's standing by you

avoid the German wilkommenskultur, in particular

Self-acclaimed good Samaritans, like the plague

the Zika virus, the HIV, terminal Prostate Cancer

or mean coppers visiting you, after midnight

without warning, like obnoxious thieves in the night

without search warrant, or indeed arrest warrant.

my humble two-penn'orth, dearest refugee

please go back to where you came from

or, in the name of Sweet Jesus - go to Hell.

Footnote - Credit given where credit is due: 'When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God (Leviticus: 19-34), see also Matthew: 25-35, and the daily front page's news on the fates and fortunes of the undocumented, untouchable, and outlawed refugee class, all women created equal, yet invariably obstructed in their righteous pursuit of happiness.
