Countries can be
like people, you see,
petulant and childish
or filled with maturity.
The story is told
by how they treat
their young and their old.
And their prisons will tell
if all is well.
Are they humane
or do they show disdain?
To their fellow man
do they do what they can
for the poor, the distraught,
to alleviate suffering?
Or do they cause it rather than banish it?
These questions must be asked
for a nation to receive God's blessing.
If you care for your nation's welfare than care for your neighbor's.
Is your neighbor's welfare something you give thought for
or do you only care for yours?
