Unfazed


If someone doesn't believe
in the things I believe
I'm not fazed by this one bit
I'm gonna be who I am,
which is a Christian
That's the way it is,
that's the way it's gonna be
I'm gonna keep loving the other person
who doesn't believe the same as me
I'm gonna reach deep in my pockets
and help them,
should I see them struggling mightily
I abide
by the law of charity and love
Being able to help someone else
is my saintly reward
I'm a warrior for righteousness,
I'm a fighter for equality
I'm a Christian
That's just the way it is with me,
and that's the way it's always gonna be
If someone doesn't believe 
in the things I believe
I try to be very tolerant,
as every Christian should be
It's always comfortable talking to yourself,
when the other person you're talking to,
is the same person who used to be you

A poem to meditate upon, Freddie! This gives me the impression of a born-again Christian who might have strayed and then returned o the right path. ~ Regards // paul

Last three lines are money! A sincere characterization of what a good Christian should be, can't tolerate those people that worship, only to talk about thy neighbor on the church steps immediately following the sermon.
