Priority

By Starsha Brown

Save the whales
Save the trees
Save the birds and bumblebees

I love these things that God created
But sometimes I get so aggravated

How about we save the humans who are endangered
The ones we know
The perfect strangers

Instead of paying billions to men who can throw a ball
Lets feed the children
Buy them shoes and clothes
Toys and dolls

Let us love the unlovable
The ones we usually turn our backs to
The smelly, the dirty
The sinful "throw-aways"
They deserve just as much love as we do

The sluts, the whores
The cheating spouses
The poor
The ones who have no houses

The depressed manic depressives who live in mansions
The druggie, the rapist
The ones with no trustworthy intentions

The sick, the sad
Those in prison
All of those for whom the Savior is risen

All of these
They're God's creation
We, like them, deserve damnation

You are no better than these I've listed

We all have mind and hearts

Somehow twisted

To be the first
Become the last
Put these tragedies in the past

Give them love
Give them hope
Give them hope of a brand new start
Give them warmth
Give them food
Give them glue for their broken heart

Honor creation
God has made
Animals
Land
Water
Trees that shade
Remember all people are His Creation too
Show them what His love can do!
