"Love Thy Neighbor"

By melodies revisited

Take a moment
To remember them
They who do not
Remember themselves
As anything save for

Worthless
Helpless
Hopeless
Unsavable
Monsterous

The list may go on and on
If one were to let it
But the point
To be made is that
Those who see themselves as

Useless
Mistakes
Demons
Lost
Alone

Are not as they seem
Even to themselves
And those around them
Despite all flaws and such
They are, in all reality,

Worthy
Lovable
Capable
Deserving
Needed

But unless others say that
They are what they are, we
Will not be able to tell them
Show them what they are
Because all humans can be

Good
Loved
Forgiven
Caring
Selfless

We must, as "stronger" humans,
More set in our ways, pull these
misplaced souls into loving arms
We must show them that there is hope
For everyone, especially the

Worthless
Good
Worthy
Useless

We are all to be loved.
