THE BIBLE AS A MORAL GUIDE?

The Bible says to love your neighbor;
But also says to kill a queer;  
It says pay justly for day labor;
And then it tells us whom to jeer. 
What if your neighbor’s gay? Or predator?
Would this get past a modern editor?
The Bible as a moral guide
Should surly be more cut and dried.
For how are we to make decisions
About what’s really wrong or right
And know that what we think’s airtight.
Perhaps the Bible needs recisions?
You’d think though an all-knowing god
Could prompt a book that’s not so flawed.
