the real perspective.
I was hungry,
and you formed a humanities club and discussed my hunger.
I was imprisoned,
and you crept off quietly to your church and prayed for my release.
I was naked,
and in your mind you debated the morality of my appearance.
I was sick,
and you knelt down and thanked God for your health.
I was homeless,
and you preached to me the spiritual shelter of the love of God.
I was lonely,
and you left me alone to pray for me.
You seemed so holy, so close to God, but I am still very lonely, hungry, and cold.
I get asked almost once a day why I would give up a whole summer to live in Panama. Or why after college I plan on moving to Africa hopefully through a job with World Vision. I know I won't get a lot of money. I know it will be hard to raise a family, and I know that according to America-I will be crazy. I get it. I know. Thank you for telling me yet again.
I also know that I don't care what you say when you tell me it won't work.
