Should I declare myself above another <br />In worldly wealth and power over my brother <br />And say to him, "Go thy way, in misery drown- <br />Little do I care, in luxury do I abound." <br />So when I am called to face the stand <br />Will one step forth to proudly take my hand? <br />Then might a voice of thunder stern and cold <br />Shout "Go! Buy thy way with silver and gold!" <br />Once I spied a brother fallen by the way <br />Might I have saved him had I paused that day? <br />Yet do I gaze upon him in my dreams <br />As unto the Lord my feeble spirit screams.<br /><br />Charlie Spaulding<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-brother-s-keeper/
