Good God Immigration
“The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.” – Leviticus 19:34
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” – Mark 12:31
They sow coveted
To be Christian
In their idol nationalism
And wanton grave in image
They tried to stop
God at the border
But whoa unto them
They couldn’t keep God
Out!
Their last grasp
And soul hope
Turned out
As an inhospitable lessen
As God welcomes
Awe of God’s children
