For America
to rise
to be more
than a superpower
our
military might
our sheer
ability
to change
the world
We must
Love our neighbor
for all are
all God’s children
the second
command of God
after the
command to
love God
completely
We have
lost our way
separated
from our neighbors
there is nothing
that joins us
only
divisions, factions,
a state of them
versus us
We have
found ways
to divide
our neighbors
Fox and
MSNBC, left and right,
Republican
and Democrats
endless
echo chambers
To love our
neighbors
as we love
ourselves
How we
should treat
our fellow
man
that is the
command of God
We are no
better
than any
other
though we
seek
to divide,
to separate,
to judge
our neighbor
How can we
divide
separating
people
when we are
all the same
all of us
neighbors
under the
skin
We all are
fallen
we all have
the same stain
all of us
sin, turn away;
We all
deserved death
but Christ
climbed our cross
We must
Love our neighbor
as God
commands us
ignoring
the differences
finding
common ground
if America
is to Rise again.
