Like Fallout from a Blast
Cover your ass
And blame shift
Make the outsiders pay
Look out for Number One
And family.
Pick up the gab. Today.
Such hurtful talk.
Somebody thinks it’s true.
Gossip that’s
Self-exalting
Long as it doesn’t
Smear you.
Negative seems the
Attitude.
Love for your neighbour.
What is that?
Look all around you
See reality.
You’re like the alley-cat.
Still there is Hope
Up-lifting.
How would you feel
If scathed?
Let this now be the meter.
Let empathy teach
And bathe.
(Read Matthew’s Gospel chapter five.)
