Bread of Life
Jesus
First said, “I tell
You, the poor are always
With us. They do not go away.”
Feed them.
Jesus
Last said, “I am
The bread of life; take, eat.
Do this in remembrance of me.”
Be fed.
Brothers
Under the skin,
Groaning deep with hunger.
If you have more than you need, then
Feed them.
For Sami Al-khalili's contest, "A Piece of Bread, Please."
