Love Your Enemies


Matthew 5:44

Love your enemies bless them that curse,
Do well to whoever hate and is perverse;
Pray for those who despitefully persecute,
It seems only normal for having a dispute;
I know how hard it is to promote goodwill,
Especially when talking about Kim Jong Il;
Even a Korean feeling about the Japanese,
A rough 36-year period of such tyrannies;
What a hard thing when mistreated and hurt,
Someone just treats you as a piece of dirt;
We need to pray for them and be forgiving,
Ask the Lord to bless them and thanksgiving;
Ensure that the Lord knows you are sincere,
To repel resentment and thoughts of fear;
And benevolently speak to others about them,
Go out of your way to help and not condemn;
It'd start to break the barriers in between,
Even though they don't cede the gillotine;
The affect upon you'll be even more amazing,
For your spiritual power will begin raising.
