A watched pot, that none dare call boiling-dj eckert

"YOU....are a stinkpot!" whistles the kettle.
"No, YOU.... are an offensive kettle of stench!" argues the pot.
( psssstt.....pssssst ....psss... Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; ...psssssssssssttt....pssssssss....psssssss....pssss.....pssstt.... the now dirtied stovetop chimes in.)

"YOU, smell like some kind of NAZI!" exclaims the kettle.
"No, it is YOU that smells like some kind of NAZI!" refutes the pot.
(psssssssttttt......psssss....psssss....
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; .....pssss....pssssst...)

"Oh, what IS that tripey stench?" asks the kettle.
"Yes, what IS that stenchy tripe?" echoes the pot.
(pssssst.....PSSSSSSS..... Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!...pssssssssssssst......psssssss.....
.....pssssssssst....)

"I DO sense something REAL," proclaims the kettle.
"Yes, I DO really sense SOMETHING," contends the pot.
( pssssttt....pssss...pssssssssst......
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight!pssssssssst....)

"The 'I AM', GREATLY boils up some living water for humanity!" FINALLY declares the kettle.
"Yes, I am boiling up humanity GREATLY!" Roars the scorching pot.
(PSSSS.....Psssssssst..........pssssss......
pssss..... Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour ....sss.....psss...psst.
....psssssssst.)

"How insssssidioussss... and sssssublime!..." the stovetop sizzles, as the flame is snuffed out.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight!
Isaiah 5:20‭-‬21 NASB

This was inspired by our current political climate, and the old expression 
"The pot calling the kettle black" ( The blackness only being caused by a lack of illumination to the human race)

***A frindly reminder***

If y'all grow tired of trying to make sense of this deceptive, seemingly non- sensical world, The Instruction Manual (The Bible) explains it ALL. Did I mention it explains it ALL?
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 NASB
