Lev. 19:18
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any
grudge against the children of thy people,
but thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself: I am the LORD.
Hymn #308, “Love One Another”; Hymn #235,
“Should You Feel Inclined to Censure”
Sonnet 507 Reflections on Leviticus 19:18
By Tom Matkin, July 18, 2009
It’s fun to eat a piece of chocolate fudge
But nothing’s fun about a bitter grudge
And no one likes their work to have a smudge
But it’s still worse to hold an angry grudge.
And I would rather ride than have to trudge
But even worse would be to bear a grudge
And no one likes a biased unfair judge
The kind, I guess, who holds some sort of grudge.
And who has not been bogged in sticky sludge
A fitting metaphor for mired in grudge
And of the headlines featured by Matt Drudge
The worst are those that evidence a grudge.
And foolish stubborn folks will never budge
They cling like monkeys to their every grudge.
