Not absolved of their guilt – v3

Maybe it is true
that others incite them
with their rhetoric, their speech,
yet they are still responsible
they are not absolved of their guilt;
No matter their anger
what the source is of no import
we are called to be temperate
in control of the spark;
they control their anger
the steps of their walk
