Impact

“It doesn’t impact one who doesn’t impact others.

It impacts one because they impact others.

That’s why it impacts one who impacts,

who wrongs one who’s done no wrong.”

“Whoever wrongs a man who has done no wrong,

a pure man who has not a blemish,

the evil backfires on the fool,

like fine dust thrown upwind.”
