Samaritan

Samaritan

The priest did not risk
touching a dead body
       make him unclean
 to serve in the temple this trip

the Levite- similar excuse
fear of getting involved
     dirty his hands
slow his work

But the Samaritan knew
felt  like to be
ignored and ostracized

 he had compassion
willing to stray
     from his schedule
to help the needy
to bind the wounds
place in an inn
     even give of his  money
