A Pious Love
Does a father love conditionally?
Allow his children harm?
Kill his own flesh?
If so, is your love as conditional as his?
Will you avert your eyes from the suffering of the sinner,
If in the name of God?
If your father commands you?
Does the sinner remain thy neighbor,
When in the pits of hell?
Was she ever deserving of love?
Did you truly give it to her?
Did she feel it?
