Judgement

Who are we to judge another One we call sister or brother Rich or poor, fat or thin We're the same beneath the skin From the truth we turn and flee Seeing what want to see We turn from those in need Thinking only of selfish greed Are we so self invested Ignoring those that are sorely tested What cost a kindly word That's so seldom heard But, what if roles reverse Do we stand and curse? Do we beg and plead For the help we need? Are we normal, are we sane? A question asked again and again.

Judgement... Thou shalt not judge, les ye be judged? I think that's the one. Ugly human concept isn't it? Great meaningful piece, John! Rather thought-provoking.
