Timothy Mcguire Poet Free verse

Love Thy Neighbor

Turn off the news,
the TV,
your cell phone,
the internet,
feeds,
Twitter,
Instagram,
Snap Chat,
the radio,
Facebook,
gossip,

and just love thy neighbor.

Look at a man's heart,
not his skin,
not where he lives,
nor how he votes,
or his wealth,
don't mind his business,
forget politics,
put your guard down,

and just love they neighbor.

We don't have to be right,
we don't have to be wrong,
to love thy neighbor.

We don't have to be happy,
we don't have to be angry,

we just have to be,
to love thy neighbor.

Tom Cunningham September 6, 2018 at 2:40 AM Great advice Timothy, people too obsessed with technology, bet half of them never speak to their neighbours .Bring back the old days , they were the best. Tom Timothy Mcguire September 6, 2018 at 10:18 AM You are right Tom. Read my poem "cell phone zombies". I see 6 people in a break room at work and they don't even look at each other. Got their face in a phone.
