Poem
Love thy Neighbor By Lisa Noe*Cat* The violence is everywhere It’s tearing me apart In the churches, in the schools No one follows the golden rule Snipers randomly shooting down Innocent citizens hitting ground Black hates white, white hates black Jews, Muslims, Christians they all lack Love and compassion to join as one force Fight our demons and set a new course Bring together a world with no war Stop treating earth as if it’s a whore Be able to walk the streets day and night Not be worried or overcome with fright Raise your children, teach them to love All their neighbors come push and shove Shepherd the earth and keep it well Only time will tell We’ve polluted our fields and our streams We’ve taken from God’s dream He gave this earth as a home so pure We’re destroying it, turning it to a sewer Robbing coal and oil Poisoning the soil This world has just gone mad Each generation has had a fad Children no longer play They worry each day Will the world soon end It’s man’s doing you can depend He’s writing his own destiny The outcome in his hands you see It can be turned around Everybody make a sound Say stop to hate, Try to relate Make your little piece of earth clean Help others sight unseen Realize we are just one race Humans from every place Each one bleeds red Listen to what I’ve said “Love thy neighbor As you love yourself.” 60 lines 250 words
