"Think of your brethren like unto yourselves, and be familiar with all and free with your substance, that they may be rich like unto you."
To let a stranger be my friend, to judge him not at all;
to make him rich like me -- with food and drink and silken shawl.
This is not prudent in the least; it is not very wise.
Is this a true commandment, something angels would advise?
The answer plain is neither hidden nor in much dispute:
it is a challenge worthy of a lifetime of pursuit.
My riches are but rags and scraps, my wisdom but a fraud,
if I refuse to use them helping others back to God . . .
