as I say

It’s not

about the clothes we wear;

(so casual, expensive doesn’t need to be mentioned.)

Nor about the cars we drive.

We could willingly

sacrifice

so much more.

It is rather the gap

between what we say

is right and what we do

to make it so that separates us

one from another,

and another, and another....

and the best of ourselves, too.



‘Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, ‘The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; they do all their deeds to be seen by others; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long. Therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach.” Matthew 23:1-2
