Failure to Love

It's there, not here

And then the Third Reich marches

Aggressive goodness recedes

Aggressive self-interest wars

 

Aggressive love

Active doing

Aggressive goodness

Earth-shaking

 

Major "evils" not by design,

Not rampant meandering of intentional wrong, but

Hunger, disease, poverty, ignorance, are

Consequences of our failure to love

 

Not aggressive evil, but

Lack of aggressive goodness, a

Failure to love, a failure to see who

Our neighbor is and what their needs are
