BELOVED LET US LOVE
Beloved, let us love one
Another: for love is of
God; and everyone that loves
Is born of God, and knows God.
For if my body ‘give up
To be burned, possessions gut
From my life – give ‘ta poor ones
If I did it for my pride,
Not knowing Love, naught do I
Gain. If I to those who be my
Life’s customers- for usury
My face is kind, smile wide, yet
Sharp cruelty show my Christian
Brother, not honoring mine
Own ‘bove all humanity -
For They shall know Christians by
Their love – I know not God. He
Is Love. If consider I
The outer shell; acknowledge thee
Are Greek, white, free, slave, female
Man, brown, yellow, ‘stead that these
Are done away and in Christ
We are all one, I know not
God. He is Love. No time does
A man have greater love than not
His own life saves, but gives up
To death himself for love. Sought
Us did, does Christ. Sought did thus
This man thus my maid. When I laid
Down my dreams, wants, life, redeemed
Her; I knew God. When he stays
Not, but seeks his flesh, takes he
His life back, He knows not God.
God is Love. When wins she her
Husbands heart, showing him sought
Loyalty, faithfulness, hope,
Love, and he lacks not wholly
Gain in his heart. When she does
Him good, not harm, all days these
Of her life, works with her paws,
Joyously, unselfishly,
Is a merchant ship, brings all
Kinds of food from afar, that
His heart does trust and rely
in her, She knows God. When lacks
He all but betrayal, cries
With the children in the back
Of the church, when she seeks bright
Things for her neck, not food that
All might eat. When she does him
Harm and not good, all days these
Of her life. She knows not Him.
God is Love. When a church-folk
Walks down the street, sees a hoodlum
Bleeding, unconscious, bemoans,
Checks her watch, rushes to fill
Her wallet. While two seconds
Later an OG now ‘preach’
Takes him up, pays his ER
Bill, and more. Church-lady she
Knows not God. God is Love. Bless
Those who hate you. When they thee
Put on a cross, as Jesus
Said, follow, “Father forgive
Them, they just don’t know how they
Do.” Steaming with hurt, rage, sore
Tears and pain. Nevertheless
Sway not but to love haters.:
Ye know God. God is love. When
A sister asks forty smackers
To complete her rent, and you
Have it to give. But reach thee
Not to hand to her, eschew
Her need, saying “God bless, peace
To thee sister,” know not you
God. God is Love. If a seat
Of Christian faith decides ‘sew
Hate against a member. Use,
Accuse falsely, asunder
Cast under the bus, abuse
Most putrid with false wonders
Of Pharisaical hue,
And hate them out of their church;
They know not God. God is Love.
When all the kindnesses the
Humble, ordinary ones
Christ calls does then breach
Their finish line, “Well done My
Good and faithful servant,” He
Will say. Pretenders will seek,
“When did we forsake one time
Thee, Lord?” - “When you forsook ‘least
Of all Mine, you forsook Me.” ...
Beloved let us love one
Another. Forsake not He
Whenever, for He is Love.
