One box Jesus

Science and society

Teach us,

And we willingly

Even eagerly learn

the categories

The slots, the boxes

Needed to define our world,

to find ourselves within it

To know where everything,

where everyone, is ordered,

where we fit in place,

what space holds us snugly,

each their own, our own.

All that work to know

What, who, goes where when

And why that must be true.

Then one box Jesus comes

And throws it all away.

No free, no slave

No man, no woman

No weak, no strong

Only one simple truth

Love one another

as I love you

Each and all

The family of God.
