The Purity Test

Are you pure enough?
Do those you support in religion, politics, 
Media and entertainment pass
The purity test?
What about your friends, lovers,
Children and parents
Do they pass the test?
What about your pets?
Where does it end 
This desire for consistency and purity
Of purpose and effect?
Or perhaps a better question,
Where does it begin?
