WHO ARE OUR NEIGHBORS?


Why is the world so lonely?
There are lots of people here.
Why do they sit in sadness?
Looking lonely in their chairs?

Who are our neighbors
that are living next door?
Cutting lawn and painting fence.
With no glances at your door.

There were times when people shared
more than just a fence.
They did not stay inside.
They became your friends.

Come on over and sit down
Let’s chat for just awhile.
They served you a drink
and gave you a smile.

Care for your neighbors,
But don’t stay too long.
Just stay and say hey.
Is the slogan today.

Who are the neighbors
we know today?
They’re on Facebook and twitter.
Or characters from a play.

Have we forgotten to live
as was meant from beginning?
When talk to your neighbor.
Is no longer winning?
