6:27 But I say to you who give ear to me, Have love for those who are against you, do good to those who have hate for you, 6:28 Give blessing to those who give you curses, say prayers for those who are cruel to you.

 | | | |  |  | |  | As if it matters noticing the migrant workers— two to a wheelbarrow of concrete— mending the walls of the rich As if religion cares not speeding past the Mexican landscape and lawn workers As if it lasts the long wait to enter the death chamber, the taking of new or old or any life As if they change anything clouds in a blue sky that words rising from the dark cave As if it matters war being the outcome anyway those against it mocked and crowned As if they already possess it without counting the measure
