Refining Words

ACCUSATIONS

Under Shakespeare’s deft

hand a comedy perhaps

had he written this scene

verbal ping pong, slapstick

humor, repetitive dialog.

In reality a tragedy

as each person sought

answers apart from responsibility

or Common sense, accusations

sought a target instead of truth.

Denied man’s healing

saw only rules-rules

broken on holy Sabbath

but not the miracle of vision

contained in worship.

John 9
