Casting Stones

“Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

- John F. Kennedy

It’s sad

To see

It’s come to

This stones

Cast on all sides

As we fight

Amongst ourselves

Like little children

Who don’t know better.

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.”
― Ronald Reagan

Right against left

Left against right

The name calling

And mudslinging

Occur on all sides.

And somehow we are

Left to wonder

Why children

Look to us in confusion

As we do the very things

We have told them

Not to do.

They say those

In glass houses

Shouldn’t cast stones

And yet a lot

Of stones are being

Cast,

And glass is being

Shattered

In all directions.
