Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture? When you drink of clear water, must you foul the rest with your feet? And must my sheep eat what you have trodden with your feet, and drink what you have fouled with your feet. Ezekiel 34:18-19 (nrsv)

Closets fill
with more
than can be
worn in a year
while many
shiver with lack.
Food piles
in storage
until it rots
while bellies
stretch with hunger.
Houses multiply
across the landscape
while people live
on the streets.
