To Serve One’s Fellows
By James A Langley
To be or not to be, that is not the question;
To serve one’s fellows is the highest consideration,
Love for God the spring and safeguard of selfless service,
Across the generations the goal of the God-fearing,
Inspired by all in that Realm we trust we are nearing,
In service the Master calls us from exclusivity
To aid widows and orphans, and the least of humanity;
To live and gladly give, as ordained, in the common cause,
With compassion for all as neighbors made in God’s image,
Very sure that one day our Judge will bear the divine visage,
For this we were born, not to be served, but to serve others,
Not to be as islands, but living as sisters and brothers,
Wise legislatures will support, not hinder, such with their laws.
