And who is my neighbor

The word of the scribe
the scholar of the law
his question to Christ
his way of keeping score
And who is my neighbor,
to whom the law applies,
seeking to hear the limits
who can I cast out
But the words of Christ
not of exclusion, not in the least
words of how to walk in life
to be a neighbor indeed
