Render To Caesar

What do you have that belongs to another?
Tribute?  Custom?  Honor?  Fear?

Whose image and name is on that thing?
Friend?  Stranger?  Leader?  Brother?

Where is the due that you should bring? 
Near?  Afar?  Hoarded?  Covered?

When will you owe only love for another?
Today?  Tomorrow?  There?   or Here?
