Lectionary Poetry – 1st Sunday in Lent (Year A)


Each week we carefully curate a collection of  poems that resonate with the lectionary readings for that week (Narrative Lectionary and Revised Common Lectionary).  

 
 

Additional Lenten Poem…

 

 

Kids Who Die
Langston Hughes

Found in:
The Collected Works of Langston Hughes:
The poems, 1921-1940

 

SNIPPET:

This is for the kids who die,
Black and white,
For kids will die certainly.
The old and rich will live on awhile,
As always,
Eating blood and gold,
Letting kids die.
