We feed on the unfulfilling bread
hoping it will fill but it never does
The bread of accusation, the bread
of blame, of self-righteousness
It never fills because the bread
of life does not chase after these
It is the bread of justice, the bread
of peace, of unexpected return
We cast out these crumbs
hoping to see a return of peace
It is nourishing to eat from this
it sustains us when there is injustice
Fear, oppression, forgetting our
neighbor in the name of greed
We need to keep sustaining
ourselves with the rich bread
Which knows it cannot be forgotten
because time and again people have
Proved its living power to go on
beyond themselves and feed another
hoping it will fill but it never does
The bread of accusation, the bread
of blame, of self-righteousness
It never fills because the bread
of life does not chase after these
It is the bread of justice, the bread
of peace, of unexpected return
We cast out these crumbs
hoping to see a return of peace
It is nourishing to eat from this
it sustains us when there is injustice
Fear, oppression, forgetting our
neighbor in the name of greed
We need to keep sustaining
ourselves with the rich bread
Which knows it cannot be forgotten
because time and again people have
Proved its living power to go on
beyond themselves and feed another
