Conveys His kindness and humanity more than a cleric ever could.

A beautiful poem. As is The painting of The Last Supper. It is a painting that starts the mind. Thank you for expressing all of our possible thoughts.

A nice poem on the theme crafted so beautifully. 10

(cont) Brilliantly envisioned and conveyed. Confronts us with our own bent toward hypocrisy, and forces us to adjust paradigms that are handed over routinely without inspection of the underlying, more critical principles.

Is it not human nature to take the legacy of a man who slept upon the ground and encouraged others to give all their belongings to the poor, and build upon the backs of generations of underfed laborers soaring cathedrals of marble and gold-leafed mahogany to honor his memory? To wield the sword and the disemboweling utensils to ensure that no man strayed from the teachings of He who implored us to love not just our neighbors, but our enemies as well?

The woman who finished one half eaten olive and scooped the rest into her pockets, walked her tiny pride home to children who looked at her smile and saw the salvation of a meal.......touching expression with nice theme. Beautiful poem.

Such an interesting poem by Bob Hicok👍👍👍

'The salvation of a meal Great imagery. Congrats on the Poem of the Day.

A well expressed piece of poem. Thanks for sharing with us. Sylva

Of a meal! ! Thanks for sharing.

A brilliant meditation on real worth of human suffering and the true meaning of the teachings of a humble interloper in Palestine who's gospels became institutionalized in Rome. I imagine the speaker of the poem is a lowly charwoman/dishwasher/busboy in a fancy restaurant in the city of seven hills. She is a devoted person and not without an understanding of the books of the Bible and great works of religious art. But it is not the great and lofty that commands her attentions. She serves others. She makes do with the smallest of offerings for a meal. She is drawn not to the words of the rich and powerful but the humble kindness of one who thanks her for her least offering of water. A very effective re-imagining in modern times of the enduring meaning of a prophet who spoke two thousand years ago. This poem concentrates its energies on the goodness and kindness of human acts and the grand decrees and laws which are only so many words. Touching.
