objective neighbors

Love thy neighbor as thy self.
The meanings are for the brotherhood of love.
But some people prefer to live but not let live.
With the wall of self rightousness,
but unwilling to really learn to give.
Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Is the greatest of life is a worthy friend
and the chances should be applied.
For those who have a gentle side,
thus is so, some people just rather,
give a heave and a hoe, think only of themselves.
And not of anyone else.
They live their life, for others to see.
But to me the mean hearted should be
visible don't you agree.
Thou shalt not bare false witness against thy neighbor.
living in gossip is some peoples way.
not living with truth in the words they say.
Some would rather say a mean word.
Not care of the offense to be overheard.
To me it's a trail, not yet walked.
To walk away in shame as lies the people talked.
But just live your life the best you can.
Because you were meant to walk this land.
If those people choose to insult you.
You're the better,
walk with pride,
your sincerity won't be denied.
So just remember to love thy neighbor as thyself.
even if they live their life gleary and on the shelf.
Never bare false witness against thy neighbor they're toils
is your labor.
Also, turn to god, he's the real saver.
