Who Is My Neighbor

couplets in blank verse A dreadful assault dulled their sense of sympathy and love walked away two times; selfish trumped humane.

Want eternal life? Ask not, who is my neighbor? Be a merciful person show your love for God. Mark 12:30-31 from the Holy Bible: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these." from which Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37, Holy Bible. 2
