Too many of those that love the most

Are dead

Son. brother, 

My lover says those Christians and Jews

Who deny the elasticity of their belief

Need help remembering.

I don't know about much these days

Just the stupidity of sticking to life

When all you do is accumulate days

In a savings account labelled 'fear'.

 

Before the Reformation 

It had always been considered 

A Christian's duty to carry out 

The instructions laid down 

In Matthew chapter 25 – 

That all Christians shall:

 

• Feed the hungry
• Give drink to the thirsty
• Welcome the stranger
• Clothe the naked
• Visit the sick
• Visit the prisoner
• Bury the dead.

Now most super-subtle ex-Christians couldn't give a tinker's curse

If  that ragged,old man or woman sleeps in a bed or kips in a hearse..
