Love Thy Neighbor

Love Thy Neighbor

A Poem by Eric Cox
"

About the cruelty of neighbors.

"

Love thy neighbor

brings me sad laughter

countless people don't care

about how their neighbors fare

some are cold and mean

this I have seen

makes me want to scream

don't dance upon God's dream

don't dance upon my mind

why are you so unkind

why don't you care

about how your neighbors fare

love thy neighbor

brings me sad laughter

Most neighbors don't have a clue about who lives there or even what the commandment means because they can't see any farther than their own life.

One of the two greatest commandments is to love God with all your mind , heart and soul and love your neighbor as thyself....Bravo

You too...You are welcome...:)
Having neighbors can be a nightmare sometimes. Some people do what ever they want, not caring if it disturbs those around them. Such people I hate them! I've been there. An excellent and well written poem@

This made me laugh!!! Butt Burps!!! I'm gonna share this!!
Now, that's a hard thing to do. I don't have close neighbors and how thankful I am for that.
No screaming, no fighting, no loud music comes my way from uncaring and self-absorbed
people. Good poem, fir sure.

Thank you my lucky friend! :)
We don't even really know our neighbors today, perhaps that is why so many are cruel and unkind, not caring if what they do disturbs those living next to them. A very true poem here.
