The poem focus LOVE all people.
The poem story all must love each other and foremost those we don't love for unreasonable reasons being different from ourself. We can't judge others, and we don't know why they are as they are. There was only one perfect Person and He was hung on a cross.
Keep on writing.
Roy, keep on the battle for mankind. ^J^Rita

Comment from Joy Graham
Hi Roy! You set my mind to thinking. We don't know who our neighbors are anymore with all the terrorism and violence going on around the world.
My favorite line:
"bring hope not blinding fear".

Comment from Mastery
Deserving of six stars, Roy. I am so sorry I am out already. Yikes!
Who was counting?
Anyway, this is a very very well written poem. I liked the rhymes and the thought behind it. Interesting footnotes also. Good job.
Bravo! Bob

Comment from robyn corum
I liked this write, roy! It reminds each of us to (begin or) continue our attempts to 'treat others as we'd like to be treated'. A wonderful rule to live by! Thanks for sharing!

Comment from LIJ Red
I wonder if it wouldn't have gone better for the refugees and unlucky people in Syria if the Big Bear had stayed home...but then again the US fumbled and bombed the hospital. A fine poem for a troubled world, Roy.

Comment from mermaids
I like your message in poetic form, reminding us that we need to think of ours an take care of our neighbor. Christ said "The most despised" is a line that tells the reader to remember those that society despises, especially the homeless and mentally ill.

I find it a true shame that people are so involved in using technology that they seem to not even be aware of those who may be hurting, those who are their neighbors. Patricia

Comment from nomi338
This is an excellent example of a white man going out of his way to aid a black man in need or vice versa a black one putting himself out for a white person. The great hope for this country is that we do see examples of this from time to time. My wish is that we will see it even more. This could well be the reason we have not yet been condemned from God's seat of judgement.

Comment from Dawn Munro
You know, you often write something that just seems so fitting for me that day, as this wonderful poem is no exception. Sometimes it's hard to see the forest for the trees, but Roy, you have an amazingly perceptive view...
Blessings, my friend. It's an honour to read your poetry.

Comment from nancy_e_davis
Yes Roy that is exactly what we SHOULD do. The ones who need help are the ones with the guns. I wonder if they can be reasoned with. It is the Devils brigade and we all know it. The man the Samaritan helped was helpless and couldn't fight his enemy(as it were). I wish we COULD remove all the hatred in this world. Well done :<( Nancy
