feed the hungry

an octet

Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least
of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matt. 25:40 (KJV)

b u t
s e e i n g,
they  see  not,
f o r  the  hungry
scramble for the crumbs
that fall from their t a b l e s,
while fat mongrels lick their sores.
flatulence   a n d   belches seize  them;
a l l  their riches  cannot  please  them:
tho’ they have, they envy more.
still,  they  are  not  a b l e,
when the conflict comes,
themselves  to  free
from the knots
o f   mean
g u t s.
