I went when I was called
To duty, sacred, well enthralled.
I thought the best of what was known;
Cast doubt away like worthless stone.
I went when I was called.
He went when he was called
To follow blindly, conscience-mauled.
He didn't see the facts quite plain;
He shut his eyes, turned off his brain.
He went when he was called.

I was thinking of how easy it is not to see and, likewise, how easy it is to judge another for not seeing. As Paul wrote, "We see through a glass darkly." We humans, even in doing our best, can miss so much, not least the opportunity the show some charity (v2).
