The News in Poetry Day 8: The Least Of These My Brethren

I’m not a Christian, but I quite like some of the teachings; mostly the ones that get ignored.

When you turn us away in Christ’s name,

Remember the gentle soul
With a lot of male companions
Whose best friend was a whore.

The one who told you not to judge:
You just slammed the door in his face
Offering respite to the hateful

From a fairer world.
