Neglected - Widows Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The Bible insists
that they are
to be treated
with respect
and kind compassion.

They should be
cared for, given
protection, offered
support, and no
one should treat
them unjustly
or take advantage.
of the lonely widows.

The Law of Moses
addressed many
issues relating to
widows and
their needs,
such as the
harvesting law
of gleaning,

and the importance
that justice was
meted out to anyone
who abused or
neglected widows.
