I Don't Love Thy Neighbor

Jesus said love your neighbor No matter who your neighbor might be, At that command do not labor Just open your eyes and heart and see. They might have a different colored skin They may be a different race, Unto you they might had committed a sin Or maybe just standing in the wrong place. They might be supporting a different political party Or someone making minimum wage, They might be healthy and hearty Or maybe you don't like them because of their age. They might be someone that you're mad at They might even be your dreaded ex, Or they might be someone who is fat Or someone who enjoys the same sex. Maybe it is an addict Or maybe even an immigrant, Maybe it is someone who you say makes you sick Or maybe it is someone who is just different. Maybe it is someone who has cheated Or someone who has constantly lied, Or maybe it is someone who has mistreated Maybe someone who has inadvertently sighed. It could be someone who is poor or wandering Or someone who has broke the law, Maybe it is someone who is squandering Or that someone who drew that last straw. Maybe it is an catholic, or maybe a Jew Or an atheist or a Muslim or another belief, Maybe it's a different religion than you Or maybe it's someone's doctrine which brings you grief. God loves the sinners and even those who con And even those who are always the first to strike, Remember, God loves us each and everyone Even our neighbors, the ones that we don't like. Love thy neighbor the Bible does say I do, even though many times they treat me like hell So, for you and them I do constantly pray Because, you too are also someone's neighbor as well. Randy L.
