Rededicate 250: A Poem

Re-dedication?
Cease exploitation!
Dedicate yourselves
To defend the low-stationed.
Rededicate?
I hate your “fasts.”
Won’t hear your supplication
Over the cries of those you’ve chained
To stop illegal immigration.
Oh, you’d like a Christian country?
Then try this rededication:
Sell all you have
And give it to the poor across the nation.
Take every gun
And melt it to a plow to fight starvation.
Make every congregation
Known for love, not condemnation.
Rededicate?
Until widows, orphans, refugees
Are cared for, there’s no point.
Unless you turn in dust and ash,
I will never anoint
All you’ve dared to claim My Name for
I won’t spare your greedy land
I won’t bless your “Christian” country
Til you open up your hands
To feed the hungry,
House the homeless,
Clothe the naked,
Serve the Lord,
Bless the migrant,
Love you neighbor,
Or else, what’s a nation for?
So, if you dare, rededicate
Your nation to the Cross,
But, take care, before you do
Repent!
And count the cost.
