Who Is Your Neighbour
Who Is Your Neighbour?
When I was young and lonely,
Sometimes it was me.
But as I got older and became more conversational,
It was whoever I stopped to talk to on my weekly constitutional.
And at college it was most anybody on my block;
When relating to them, I hardly ever watched the clock.
But really its anybody and even more so, the nobodies,
No matter what difference or diversity, they're somebodies.
And until governments get their political systems right,
It's the Syrian refugees who only find cold in the night.
