To The Intolerant Elected Us Must Learn Poem by Mark Heathcote

To the intolerant elected we must learn to love: for it is they, who have frozen on the path to light. For it is they, who have frozen short-sighted and fastened their tempers of understanding.
For it is they, who have frozen on the path to all they make righteous.
Only when these their silent hands dwell in mindfulness of prayer manifest
Or with a carpenters-hammer-hammering will they this rich rabble care
For the emptiness visionless theft, they've taxingly declared.
Only when they see that great depth of love and wealth; shall they be troubled.
Only; when they see just how poor spiritually they to really are will they be heedful of their own ever-growing hunger that grows within themselves that blind despair?
That we the people of this their world are only too often fully aware.
