He Who Is Imperfect.


I refuse
to follow 
the
crowd

who
enjoys
magnifying

people's 
mistakes

to
minimize
their own.

One
mistake

is all you need
to spark off
their 
enthusiasm.

It takes 
an orchestra 
to 
rehearse and broadcast 
your 
one
fault.

With much
gusto and skill,
they
blow horns
and
trumpets
in forums and newspapers.

One mistake,
they cancel
every right thing you did
before.

How ugly
we can be

when we choose
to
pounce on people's 
weaknesses.

The world will 
be a 
better place

if 
we choose 
to
frame up 
more
photographs of what
people 
did right
than 
what they 
did wrong.

What's so shocking
shouldn't be 
how weak
we could be -

it's 
nothing new 
since day one.

Why shall we be?
After all, 
we are 
people.

Want proof? 
Check a mirror. 

What will be
 more surprising 
is 
humanity 
to be kind.

Let's 
do something
new.

Let's be 
kinder.

He who is 
perfect,
let him
 cast the
first stone.

He who is 
imperfect,
let him 
shut up
and 
let a 
higher order
judge and deal
with the man.

Val, I have been thinking about the lack of grace in people.. of the media industry.. vs the abundance of His grace and love.
And i wrote about it in my newly created blog. So it was such a pleasant surprise to read what you've wrote on valerictorian!
