Human Dignity

So easily thrown away
so easily tossed out
if we bar their way
if we cast our neighbors out

Ours to gather in
to make one flock
to gather in all the lost sheep
till none of them is lost

Not to judge the world
to look into others’ hearts
leaving the judging to God
offering them love instead
