Things that defile

Haiku for a blameless life.

Those who are upright
offer many righteous rules
to keep us from sin.

Laws for cleanliness,
crucial for a blameless life!
Make sure you obey!

Forget about them!
When the blind guide each other
both fall in a pit.

Where do they come from,
all those evil intentions?
They come from the heart.

Not what we take in
that determines righteousness,
but what we put out.
