A Poem on Judgement

A Poem on Judgement

  • A POEM ON JUDGEMENT

  • What are the rules for judgment these days?

  • Do we judge for self  like I’ve been doing along my way?

  • Do we listen,  then inside make a choice?

  • Or do we listen to those people who think,

  • “Only they have a voice?”

  • Is judgment not for self, in knowledge,

  • Feelings and desires?

  • Does experience have any meaning,

  • So my reasoning does transpire?

  • It’s my training, according to masters of thought,

  • Judging others we do not do,

  • How can we judge one another

  • and to ourselves be true?

  • I believe I make a judgment for self,

  • The only way through,

  • For if I judge anyone else,

  • I might hurt that person’s passage,

  • Does the soul account for nothing

  • After many years of life?

  • Does my experience as a student,

  • a worker, a mother and a wife?

  • Account for zilch, after all the struggles,

  • That this hybrid walked through,

  • Are we to recognize our individual dreams

  • Are the only thing to pursue?

  • Does all my learning go for not,

  • because some other hybrid can’t comprehend?

  • Do determinations make my decisions

  • Come from faculties within?

  • Do reflective judgments build my cognitions

  • The faculties good and strong?

  • To after all these years not even be respected,

  • To be told that I am all wrong,

  • I was told when I was younger,

  • Ignorance was no excuse,

  • So I repeatedly worked hard,

  • So I would never be confused,

  • All masters of thought I studied,

  • There were books galore along my trek,

  • My conclusion of the complexities of life,

  • Do not Judge, but do accept,

  • Even differences I learned to respect,

  • because of learning each must do,

  • When do others treat me with the same respect

  • I offer each of you?

  • Jesus is my Savior, when recognizing

  • thought of each

  • Is not so complex, with Jesus in the center,

  • our glue to guide and teach,

  • But now I have these people treating me today,

  • Like I’ve not seen the inside of a book,

  • And much to my dismay,

  • Even professors of Universities

  • Are subjective in thought,

  • Is all research and objective knowledge,

  • all going to be forgot?

  • Or is it time to think and recognize

  • Judging others can go astray,

  • If no thought goes into each persons right

  • to have freedoms to discriminate,

  • Let our choices be based on what we know

  • Of Self to not eliminate,

  • Freedoms in this country

  • exchanged for those who wish to dictate.
