Denying them food

At the table with us
claiming his name
breaking bread together
yet denying them food
hording our treasure
what we had brought
denying our neighbors
the lessons that Jesus taught

Nothing of love
of our fellow man
in the decisions in the temple
to keep all they can
the burden on the weak
denied food at the table
theirs to bear the cost
because they have no voice
