REALIGNMENT

Benjamin Sturgis Pray

Forgo all preaching perched aloof
In Pharisaic isolation.
Refocus thought. Let proof by proof
Of scientific demonstration
Confront and heal each wrong's impact
With deft, conclusive counterfact.

Let fault that rankles from without
Lay bare its parallel within.
Let self-correction put to rout
Self-righteous judging and begin
That global welding which implies
Compassion intimately wise.

Benjamin Sturgis Pray
