Guest Poem: The Lament of the People of Sodom

This is a guest poem post by Daniel of Adventures in Jewish Thought. The salt shaker is totally my idea. Hoping his poem will evoke some good comments, ideas, reflections.

The Lament of the People of Sodom

The poor,

The orphans,

The widows

And the strangers

In our midst

We were struck blind.
