I wrote this some time ago and entered it for a poetry competition. Unfortunately it did not win any prize so I have decided to put it up on my own page. Hope you like it.
Break Out
Break out of
Holy huddles in
hallowed halls
harmonising humdrum
hymns or hollering hallelujah
harping on about how
humanity is heading to hell in a handbasket, while
hating homos,
hoodies, Hindus, and other heterogenous humans,
harbouring hostility
towards the homeless, however they lost their housing, in
Harringay, Hackney,
Havering, Homerton, Hoxton, Highbury or Hounslow.
Holding on to
historical notions about the
hierarchy in church
and society if you believe in
the existence of society, that is,
helping yourselves
to as much as you can hold God helps those
who help themselves”
heaping blame for
all societal ills on the “workshy” unemployed Scroungers
and “immigrants” who came to steal our jobs.
handing out hand-outs
and hand-me-downs to the “helpless handicapped”
holding placards
outside hospitals,
Howling abuse about
abortions
Harrumphing in
haughty disgust, with mumblings about
Heresy, when someone
questions, let alone, disagrees with what you say
Wholly forgetting
what humility is
Hoping to have a
horde of heavenly points Shining up your halo
Hypocrites!
Break out, Reach out, Touch -
Head
for the high streets, houses and hangouts
Hearing,
Helping and Connecting with humanity.
Handing
out food to the Hungry and
Heeding
God’s call to
Herald
His amazing unconditional love.
