To a sweet kindhearted poet, Karen Palumbo

 

 
 
 
If someone fell into your doorway,
Your doorway to hell,
Would you step over him?
Or curse him on the way out,
Is that what you’re about?
 
Take a step back,
 
If a creature in agony,
In front of you stood,
Would you not help?
Or would you look the other way,
And leave it there to yelp,
 
Take a step back,
 
Would you run to church?
On Sunday’s teaching,
About all the sins,
Yours and mine,
But the devil you are preaching,
 
Take a step back,
 
That pen that’s on your desk,
That magic pen with power,
Use it well for change,
That by God is blessed,
Hear I say you can’t?
 
Take a step back,
 
When comes the time,
You fall into HIS doorway,
And you expect to stay,
Expect HIM to pick you up,
What would you say?
 
Take a step back?
 
He’s the one you prayed too,
He heard every cry, felt every pain,
Did you hear his?
The ones you caused,
The help you did abstain,
 
Take a step back,
 
Millions crying in the night,
Humanity and creatures,
Blight and horror everywhere,
Where is your help, your will?
Are you debating still?
 
Take a step back,
 
Just a penny or a dime,
For every penny spend a thought,
Where and why and how it might,
Before your time runs out my friend,
If goodness you had bought.©22/11/2009

The Lord cared about the donkey rescued from the ditch on the Sabbath, and the errant lamb. And also the hurting fellow human...as He showed by His parable of the good Samaritan. Your invitation to "Step back" knocks on our consciences like a doorknocker on a door!
Knock and keep on knocking my friend and doors will open.

I say a prayer daily for my friends at AD who are ailing...It's the least we can do. Your humanity is showing, well done.

Jasmin,
No one I know deserves the tribute better than Karen. Well said!

Jasmin you are such a heartwarming gem. I cry as you do for all the innocent, human and animal, and now we have no path open to travel. Where is the compassion, love, understanding, respect? Why has mankind forsaken the truth?

Be always safe,
Karen
