Superficial Christian

  I can sit on my hands look around once again in judgement I could sit and stare, shake my head and just sit there. But what am I, the hands and the feet the motion the action the compassion where is it? Brothers and sisters at the end of the day? Or brothers and sisters in arms? All the things let go it's the cost of discipleship, the friendly nods, the raised eyebrows, and pleasant disagreements. I live a spoiled, charmed life. And for this I have nothing left to write about.

You know it is uncanny

What you express here so well exactly fits the feelings I have about my political/green in-activism. Gonna write some letters and do some protests and plant some trees and eat less meat... soon. Great to see you posting again, been a while, missed you brother. cheers, Jess

The message

of this fine poem also sums up the majority of us moaning Brits! Me included! We need to be stirred into action otherwise we'll be run underground. The poem has a nice pacy rythm as well as being very apt. Lenny
