The Red Window


Resting in my arms that day...


...the air filled with your breath,
and like a midsummer rain,

the epidermis of your face,

and the inner dermis of your heart,
all covered in tears remained that day.


I will not forget that day



"Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:

she and her daughters were arrogant,

overfed and unconcerned;

they did not help the poor and needy (Ezekiel 16. 49)."


Does income disparity lead to sexual sins?

Would a life of self-centeredness and hedonism

lead to other sins "outside the body"?


If God expects us to work,

will not he make a way?

I rested in your arms that day

Are not we as Christ followers

obligated to provide employment?

Matthew 20. 1-7

Do not we have an obligation

to the unemployed,

to the needy,

to the poor?

Did he need to hire the last group of people,

did he need to pay them a day work pay?

What about the argument/S
that we must keep profitable
keep power,
keep wealth,
keep keep keep keep
keep keep keep keep,

so that the business might continue,
so that we live a good life?

It did not seem to enter much

into the landowner's mind,

and I have the conviction,

neither did sexual sin.
