How Quick

how quick she is
to pass judgment

little need for facts
why bother
they only clutter
and get in the way
slowing down the process

doesn’t she feel effective
and utterly proficient
passing a verdict
in one minute flat

simplifying life
in record time
breaking down the structure
into black and white

It's human nature to do this but, it is done too often. When we can all do better, why don't we? Well penned.

So true. Some people today think you shoukd be dead if you don't agree with their ideas. It has happened many time throughout history that is doomed to repeat itself.:(
