Defiling Christ’s Table

Our failure to see them
the others at the table
bringing our own food
our treasure, not the kingdom’s

Coming into worship
sitting for holy communion
our neighbors, our family hurting
yet not sharing at the table

Defiling Christ’s table
gorging on “our” bounty
claiming our own efforts
when we do not feed the needy
