Dirt Cannot Remove Dirt

We are fighting against injustice but we are doing the very thing we rose up against. If you must bring justice you should do away with what others have been doing to destroy justice. Only then can peace be attained. Otherwise whatever attempt you do is just a new beginning of a more horrible situation

Be clean first
Before you tell others
To clean themselves
With blood-stained hands
You can't bring justice back
You instead
Lead to more blood shed
Dirt cannot remove dirt
Be clean first
Before you tell others
To clean themselves

Your poem reminds me of Jesus'command to remove the log from our own eyes before going after the mote in another's eye. Very true words, Abdi-Noor. This is simple logic. It's frustrating that it is ignored by so many.

being "clean" and pursuing peace is a harder road to walk than taking up arms, bullying and mud-slinging. this is a well-stated call back to the more excellent way. thanks, Abdi-Noor, and good to read you again. hope you are well. Dawn

Caught in the Act by Paul Lonardo

"We walked in on a surreal scene. There are few words, if any, to accurately describe the abject horror..." What Jeannie and Kevin McDonough saw was a wanted, multi-state serial killer about to take his next victim - their own daughter. W
