Love Thy Neighbor

Love thy neighbor 

What a world we now live in
Intolerance is rife
Blinkered views across the news
Affecting daily life

Opinions offend so many now
Discriminating tales
Wise words are never heard
Common sense has failed

Selfishness does dictate
Grab whatever you can
Right and wrong has long since gone
No brotherhood of man

Live and let live is no more
Little to rejoice
But bigotry is not for me
Kindness is my choice
