"People First?" [Reflections on Book Capitalism Is Fallen, Elwin Kettner - Chapter 1b] (Matthew 18:1-6; 6:9-13; 14:16-21; 17:17-21)
So what if “People first” was dear
To company – so things appeared
To be – “The second’s like the first –
Treat people same, not better, worse”?For that’s how Kingdom-life is done,
Now, on this Kingdom-layer – begun
Not later, answer to our prayer,
That “Kingdom come on earth from air”.“The Kingdom’s like a little child”
Not jungle’s power-trip gone wild,
Where dog eats dog (which dogs don’t do –
They yield to alpha – they’re no fools).“The Kingdom is where we will feed
Five thousand bread for daily need,
From fishes five, and loaves just two –
We’ve broken, blessed, and given from You.So in such shop or factory,
“Impossible” is what we see
Accomplished by the likes of me –
Just ordinary though we be.Thanks Lord for this.
