Eye Clean And Pure
Our first reaction to injustice and
dishonesty is to lose our ideals,
sink into a moral and emotional
quagmire - snarl at those below
us and give up dreams of trust-
worthiness and stewardship
But I try not to because the feeling
of wonderment when we encounter
great moral strength is too wonderful
an experience to become despondent
when tortured by unbridled arrogance
The beauty of resolute fortitude which
keeps the eye clean and pure, makes
me desirous to strive for the same ideal
