False Witness

It’s easy to judge another by color, size, speech to file him away safely out of reach. It’s easy to give thanks you’re not like him whose chances for success you think are slim. Some reach such a conclusion absent facts, hence how they treat others is a falsity of acts. We know nothing of another by looks alone, for judgments so made we will have to atone.

Beautifully expressed Paul! "there but for the grace of God go I"...when we judge others we will one day judge ourselves by the same standards. I loved the pure message of love in your poem Paul. Blessings xxoo
