What the Seeker for the Truth Must Sell

Sell all you have and give the proceeds to

The poor?  The poor in what?  The poor in mind

And spirit?  Or perhaps we misconstrue

The Gospel.  Only Christians seem too blind

To see the truth about the riches of

The world.  They pray for riches for the church.

They give their tithes and offerings but not love

For starving Gazans, children in the lurch.

Sell off your Gospel thinking and ideals

Since they are useless to you, goodness you

Can sell so tRUMP can have his panty feels.

Then vote for saving Israel for the Jew.

  Sell all ideals and beauty—if they get

    In Donald’s way.  You’ll be the Donald’s pet.
