Who will be the first

The metaphor, the lesson
not exact, precisely,
but the question remains, “who among us
will cast the first stone?”

We are already involved, complicit,
for the pain has long started
there are years of secrets, accusations
of stones already thrown

The blood is upon us
slowly growing, widening,
heading for the trial
a judgment upon us
