The Face Of The Poor Is The Face Of God. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
The Face Of The Poor Is The Face Of God.
What we cherish in our hearts
and declare with the mouth
must be fulfilled in deeds.
As long as one child falls
asleep hungry at night,
my stomach should hurt.
When an elderly cannot bear heat
and have great fears over tomorrow
there should be a chill in my bones.
When a poor woman sits with a child
and begs on the streets for a bit of food
I should feel her pain and care for her.
The face of the poor is the face of God.
If all of us can think like then, I guess there wouldn't be poverty anymore.... Well written

A powerful and wonderful write on God and poverty. The opening stanza consists of very moving lines. Liked the closure line that gives emphasis to God. Beautifully crafted and well executed write.10+++
