Would a good God permit an Auschwitz
    Would a bad god grant Mother Theresa long life
  Would a good God turn Osama bin Laden loose

Meat to the hungry
Drink to the thirsty
You did it to the least
You did it unto me
Hospice to the stranger
Clothes to the naked
Visitation to the sick

Take your inheritance
Ere resting in peace
Warm and fill
Encourage and heal
With your hands and feet...

Mother Theresa for drug addicts.
Mouldy bread for hungry Gypsy boy....
