and your neighbor as yourself
on sunday morning I steer clear
of any congregation
instead seeking singletary paths
like a good samaritan bound to jericho
despite possessing any riches
dangers persist along the way
yet I manage to make ends meet
with nary a badman
attempting to approach me
of course many others
along the same route
are far less fortunate than me
some beaten and robbed and
left half dead
those walking by asking themselves
what in the world would become of them
dare they stop to help a stranger
february two thousand eighteen
