Reminds me of a Bible passage, "And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."--Mark 7:20-23 Very true!

What a very apt bible quote to go with the poem Anita I am not religious but think those words sum up what I was trying to say and when someone gets someone else to do their bidding they are still tainted on the inside but its not visible on the outside:-) hugs Jan xx
