Notes About The Poem

Jaundiced Eye

Deep rooted is our prejudice
Instinctively appraising all
What if God too did roll dice
Bestowed enablements recall

Jaundiced eye rapes and plunders 
Deep rooted is our prejudice
Tarnishing Gods sublime wonders
Plunging soul into an abyss

Do pause awhile to reminisce
Why do we choose to judge and score 
Deep rooted is our prejudice
Blocking divine bliss to in-pour

Drift aimless in stuporousness 
Having forgotten our promise
Oblivious to That Oneness 
Deep rooted is our prejudice

We all pre-judge at times. We are all guilty. Sometimes God opens our eyes so that we can see things in a different light. I have found that most people are just people. There are some that are sociopaths and psychopaths as are some good people out there. We need to know of whom to be aware because we would not want to meet a sociopath or psychopath in a dark alley. Just like there are rattlesnakes and there are rat snakes we need to be familiar with their design. Interesting lines penned. Sara
