Just Hungry

i passed by a guy just the other day in his hand he held a sign that read just hungry i felt the need to ask my peers for permission as i labeled myself a reborn christian but i removed this thought from my head not remembering the man i should have fed i walked through the doors of the discount store thinking how could i feed myself and this hungry guy i shopped around the isles searching for bargain deals and cheap nutritious meals only for myself as i was not in need only consumed by my greed upon leaving the store i met a girl by the door asking for donations in the name of the lord so i gave my ten percent of the money that i spent and forgave myself of this deed leaving the man in need as i tried not to listen to the voice that made me a christian getting rid of the kind voice in my head for the man i should have fed he who held the sign that read just hungry
