The Chimney Sweeper

          What really stood out to me in this particular poem was how relevant it is to today's society. We as Christians are terrible at doing "nice things" and being "good people" but then not following up those actions or words. We say to love your neighbor as yourself but we're quick to condemn the gay to Hell. We jump at the chance to do mission trips but how many of us are willing to adopt a homeless child rather than have our own and participate in overpopulation. Christians are really bad about saying one thing and acting like another. Even if we don't realize we are doing it we can still hurt people and bot realize that we are actively participating in making those said people feel worthless. Blake so perfectly said in this poem, ". . . they have done me no injury, and are gone to praise God and his Priest and King, Who make up a heaven of our misery."
