Black Sheep
Responding to those who ask the new mosque to keep a close watch on all of their sheep.
Imperfections deflect attention —
A pimple too near a cute dimple,
A bug squashed in a fine rug,
A dark spot on a shirt that’s not,
A dust ball in a just-swept hall,
A liar leading as a squire,
A thief posing as a chief,
A riot that disturbs the quiet —
Yet underneath that sheath,
Behind the shadow you’ll find,
The light was in sight shining bright.
Inspired by comments found here.
