Who Is My Neighbor
couplets in blank verse
A dreadful assault dulled their sense of sympathy
and love walked away two times; selfish trumped humane.
That beast prejudice, clearly displayed in neglect
to one accustomed to it; yet mercy moved him.
Bandages, ointment, a vital ride to the inn,
full payment for care followed a night of concern.
Want eternal life? Ask not, who is my neighbor?
Be a merciful person show your love for God.
Mark 12:30-31 from the Holy Bible: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these." from which Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37, Holy Bible.
