'tis

the kingdom of
                heaven
            is like
a community organizer
    walking through
    oppression's
    neatly ordered
            regulations,
        planting seeds
        which blossom
                    into
    radical hope;

the kingdom of
                heaven
            is like
mold
    on a slice
    of bread
            which
            can cure
        a child's
        infection;

the kingdom of
                heaven
            is like
the young family
    which buys a
    foreclosed house
            in a rough
            neighborhood
        and turns it
                into
    a day care center.
