COMMUNION

We broke the bread and drank the wine
We felt his presence and praised his life
We saw his sightings and prayed for peace

So why is now that we do not seek
The very thing that we pray for

From across the valleys and oceans more
People are dying and we dare not help
Even if they are in our own societies

We rely on the government
But it makes me believe

That those religious enough to pray
Don't seem to realize that we are not brave

For when we see a homeless on the street
We march and we protest

But we do not seek

The very thing that they need most
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

They have left us

Hoping we'd change
But this world is full
Of meaningless rage
