Free food I know it is a lie. <br />I can not kill that sign even though I want to. <br />Those who come for help will not be charged - <br />this much is true, <br />but the food is not free. <br />The driver and the truck <br />who bring it to the church, <br />they are not free. <br />The warehouse is not free. <br />The producers and distributors <br />who give it to us know <br />it is not free. <br />The church is not free. <br />Even Christ's great love <br />was not free. <br />Yes, the sign says: 'Free Food.' <br />It is clever marketing <br />probably even necessary <br />but I know it is not true. <br />There is at least two millenniums of cost.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/free-food-a-poem-dedicated-to-the-community-of-workers-who-make-daily-bread-a-reality/
