Less than a Man

Who is less than a man?
It is her who takes, but does not give.
He who borrows, but never returns;
He hears but never listens;
He who punishes, but never forgives.

He s less than a man, who
Cares not for any by himself.
He is unfair and unjust.
He is mean and unruly.
He understands not, not does he care.

He is less than a man, who
Steals from his fellow man
He asks for forgiveness, but does not pray.
He ask for love but does not give
He loves but one, himself.

He is less than a man, who
Does not love his mother
He’ll help a friend, but
He won’t help his brother.
He touches, but does not feel;
He caresses, but does not cherish

He is less than a man, who
Kicks the helpless dog,
He turns his back on the sick
And pays no attention to the needy.
He is very stingy and very greedy.
He sins against GOD and his flag,
But what does he care?
He is the lowest kind of human.
He is one we’ll never understand
But let’s ask that God forgive him
For he is less than a man.
