Who are the others, the strangers
those outside of our circle
those we see as outsiders
unworthy of our love?
How do we justify
our discrimination, unloving,
how do we reconcile
what we do with Christ?
He loved the outsider,
the stranger, the other;
He brought them all within
God’s circle of love.
How can we claim
to be a Christian,
a follower of Christ
when we do not love
all those we meet?
