love the cheats, the con artists,
the grifters, those who game the system
who come to the well again and again
show mercy, kindness, to the poor, the hopeless
offer love to all for that is our calling
to not judge, to offer them Jesus
to give to all, no matter the merit
for we too are unworthy
to enter the circle, to sit at the feet
of our Lord and Savior
we are to love the poor, the drug abusers,
those on the margin, the outskirts
outside of our circle, the family
when they ask for treasure
when they come to the well
again and again
