Impact

1 “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.”

2 “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.”
