Paywalled Proclamation
In Christ is neither free nor poor,
And neither dig-ni-ty.
Only of elite heirs are made;
For inclusion?—a fee.
In this world is credit needed,
Protect this—made it shine,
Rearranged Paul’s duty-free words—
The profit is now mine.

Poet’s Note:
In dialog with the hymn “In Christ There is No East or West” and written in its meter (Common or 8.6.8.6), this two-stanza hymn-poem responds to the notice found on hymnary.org (https://hymnary.org/hymn/UMH/548), and other such notices, countering the very heart of Biblical evangelism.
