Campaign 2016
The first rule is easy....
It is not hard to love a God
The second rule is much harder to obey
If my neighbor is perfect...as often I think I am
We find loving each other as easy as loving God
Many are so strange...so hard to love...
Impossible to even like
It would be easier if they weren't so much poorer than me
Even got a job
Spoke my language, went to better schools
Or even went to school
Made some smart investments...voted the right way...and
were all the same color as me
Didn't trespass on my lawn or need a hand out or made do
With what their employer is willing to pay for their labor
Than I could Love them as myself.
