Laurie Ginn Poet I do not know?

The Challenge

It’s so easy to love the loveable
Those that smell wonderful
They are well spoken
Mannerly
Have the same religious beliefs 
Political beliefs
Possibly close to the same economic status

But what of the unlovable
They may smell offensive
They may be too loud or too crude
Rude
No religion,
Conflicting political views
Poor and without status
Dressed oddly
And quite possibly scary
And outside your norm

Whatever you do 
To the least of these
You do unto Christ
Does that make it easier
