Judged
The book is judged by its cover
As one comes across as clever
A doctor is judged by his stethoscope
As his words are signs of hope
A smoker is judged by his breath of smoke
As cigarettes make some people choke
A joker is judged by his jokes
Because of those smiles he provoke
One expert claims to know one
After one meet up on day one
The many are remembered on Earth
Yet the few are remembered at Death
An inmate is judged by his past
As from danger, the innocent runs fast
A doctor is judged by his medicines
As he is here to save our skin
Nevertheless, the senses are numb
What if the stories are pure fun?
What if the joker has the blues?
What if the doctor is on the news?
The mind has no knowledge nor wisdom
As no human rule this Kingdom
This is not a race for the Good
But is a place where all virtues are understood
No soul should be looked down upon
Neither should he be on the back foot
Otherwise, by the break of dawn
Your day will end by getting the boot
