Thinking of OthersMatthew 25:41-46 Continuation of "Doing unto Others" The king looked at them with anger, As he said while pointing his finger; "Depart from me, you who are cursed, Into the eternal fire for you to go first; For Satan and his henchmen are waiting, What they will do to you are contemplating; While I was hungry, you gave me no food, While I was a stranger, you tried to elude; While dying of thirst you offered no drink, While in prison, of me you did not think;" It was not for them to confirm or deny, But hesitated with a response of a reply; "Lord, when did we see you ever starving, As a prisoner or from an illness recovering; Were your needs not always attended?" Thinking a bit and then he reprimanded; "You did not to one of the least of these, You did it not to me and I am not please; You go away into an everlasting infernal, The righteous will be given life eternal."
