Neighbors
by Shawn Patrick Rivera
We have more in common
With our neighbors
Than we might think
Or others try to make us believe
Our neighbors are not the enemy
They are just like us
Trying to make it in this world
Designed to keep us down
Chaos and division
The name of the game
Trying to destroy the foundation
Of our only hope and home
This can only be made possible
Through apathy and resignation
Not speaking up
And burying our heads in shame
I will not stand for this
I will not sit idly by
I will stand up for our neighbors
And I will love them just the same
We all have a choice
It is not yet too late
I choose being on the right side of history
I choose my neighbors as God chooses me
What do you choose?
"I choose my neighbors as God chooses me"
beautiful ❤️
Testify.
