Our Indifference - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Probably a bit painful
reading the story
always hearing the call
to come to their assistance
the man on that road
lying in the ditch

Our indifference deafening
in the little we truly do
to help our neighbor
sometimes bleeding
in their pain, in injustice
crying out to us

His story simple
when you stand on that road
stop when you are called
changing what you had planned
reaching out to them in love
no matter who they are
no matter the personal cost
