�Father, why is that beggar there?
Sat at our gate,
Covered in rags and sores?
Hungry,
Forlorn.
I don�t like him.
I caught him last night,
Looking in.
You should have seen his face,
His eyes filled with hunger,
His body trembling,
Wistful,
Longing to be fed.
Can�t you do something?�
�It�s not my business.
Why can�t they look after him?
I pay my tithes,�
That covers charity.
Besides,
It�s only laziness,
Why doesn�t he get a job?
Do something,
Lift himself up?
It�s men like him disturb the country,
Zealots,
Rebels,
Ruining life for all.
No point in helping him,
Throwing away our money,
He�d misuse it,
Waste it.
Don�t bother with him my son,
Go to bed.�
�Father, I had a dream last night.
I saw the beggar,
Dead,
Borne by angels,
Clothed in glistening white.
And father,
I saw you too,
Oh father, I cannot bear it,
I saw you,
Dead,
Buried,
Filled with anguish,
Seeing the water you refused to him,
Yet waterless,
Thirsty,
Crying out,
Hopeless.�
�Don�t be afraid, my son.
Others are worse than I.
They turn away from millions,
I from one.
They see them on TV,
In newspapers,
Magazines
Then turn and cast it off,
Forget,
Or send a pittance,
Soothing conscience,
Costing nothing.
Three hundred million people ever hungry,
Five hundred thousand dying every day,
Dying,
And they let them die.
If there is hope for them, why should I fear,
Who only turn away,
From one?�
�So just enjoy yourself,
We�ll go on holiday,
Get away,
Spend our money,
Insure our future,
Buy a bigger house,
A car,
Go out for dinner,
Spoil ourselves.
We give our tithes to God,
Enjoy the rest,
And let the beggar die.�
The beggar died,
The rich man also died ---.
See Luke 16.19-31.
