AND MY TWO CENTS WORTH..?
(Mark 12:38-44)
Beware of the ‘scribes’,
those who gain by devouring
the vulnerable.

We are complicit
when we buy garments that bear
the sweat of the poor.

The rich offer much
but have much while the poor give
even their lives’ worth.

Does my ‘two cents worth’
sit with the rich or beside
the widow’s two cents?
