IF THE SUN CANNOT SHI9NE

 
IF THE SUN CANNOT SHINE
ON THOSE CONSIDERED
THE LEAST OF MY BRETHREN
IF IT CANNOT QUICKEN THE4M
IF WE ONLY WISH THEM WELL
WHILE WORKING ON OUR TAN
 
THEN WE STAND IN DANGER
OF BEING WITH THE GOATS
AT RECKONING TIME
 
NOT FOR DEEDS DONE
BUT UNDONE
LIKE DIVES
BLIND TO LAZARUS
UNDER THE TABLE
 
THOSE WHO ARE BLESSED
WITH GOD’S GOOD
WHO SEE NO NEED TO SHARE
ARE GOAT CANDIDATES
 
THOSE WHO BELIEVE RICHES
BRING UNEARNED PRIVILEGES
WHO STRUT LIKE PEACOCKS
TO IMPRESS THE NEIGHBORS
 
THOSE WHO WOULD APPORTION
GOD’S LOVE
TO THOSE THEY FAVOR
THOSE WHO WOULD SPEAK FOR GOD
WITH TWISTED TONGUE
 
ALL STAND IN DANGER
OF BEING ONE WITH THE HERD
 
TO MY SHAME
I HAVE OFTEN BEEN ONE OF THEM
 
HELP ME GOD TO BE AWARE OF Y NEIGHBOR
IF ONE HURTS
WE ALL HURT
 
WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR
ALL THAT THE FATHER
CREATED
 
FRANK A VOLLMER
