The Good Samaritan
by David Pekrul
copyright 11-22-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

  The Good Samaritan
Picture Credits:

Based on the parable of The Good Samaritan in Luke 10:30-37

Beside a narrow roadside ditch,
A man lay there without a stitch,
He'd been attacked by ruthless goons,
And dogs came there to lick his wounds.

And many people passed him by,
But no one stopped to hear his cries,
They made excuses, everyone,
And some called him a drunken bum.

But there was one who knew his pain,
A person treated with distain,
His country was Samaria,
Which gave the Jews hysteria.

He, too, had once been down-and-out,
And all the people 'round about,
Ignored his cries for charity,
For virtue was a rarity.

He stopped to see what he could do,
And then before it all was through,
He gave the shirt from off his back,
Made sure the man would never lack.

He took the man into an Inn,
To find some help for him within,
And for his keep he paid his way,
So he would have a place to stay.

"So, who's my neighbour?" we may ask,
While in our 'comfort zone' we bask,
It's anyone with hurt and grief,
Who looks to us for some relief.

You never know the one you help may be an angel. This is a good message about helping out your fellow man, but be careful there are wolves in sheep's clothing out there.! Anthony

I really enjoyed reading this poem because it has a very meaningful value to it that we all could learn from in our everyday living. Things like this happen everyday and this poem reminds me of these things I see out there. Nice flow and good rhyming added greatness to its overall effect while reading it. Great work on this one.
