• Hunger

  Hunger allows no choice
  To the citizen or the police;
  We must love one another or die.

• "As Kingfishers catch fire" poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins

  “As Kingfishers catch fire” by Gerard Manley Hopkins is supposed to contrast the way each living thing is beautiful in its own way to the way one can become just or godly by acting just and godly, or at least striving to do so. I appreciate the sentiment of putting your mouth where your money is, particularly in the religious context. I’m not religious, but the overall idea is poetic and the imagery of the poem is very pretty.
