Flowers and foods specially, they offer <br />In silver utensils- makes one wonder! <br />A ritual thus, does God expect at all? <br />When He needs nothing earthly for His hall. <br /> <br />They waste money, food in the name of God; <br />O give it to the beggars, they praise Lord; <br />’Tis a shame Man, a beggar in the streets <br />Searching the garbage dumps for food, he feeds! <br /> <br />Pet animals are indeed so lucky! <br />Well-groomed they eat with their master’s neatly; <br />O Human brother, have you lost your heart? <br />God’s semblance made, fellowmen too depart. <br /> <br />So share at least the excess food, wealth, man! <br />Take back a morsel or dime, you nev’r can. <br /> <br /> 3-1-2000<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-offerings-to-god/
