Judgement
Some folk can’t stand the things I write
and say that all my work is trite.
It doesn’t fit their perfect view
of everything they know is true.
Forgive me if I do not care,
I've learned the pain it brings to share.
But pain is just a part of living
and won't deter what I am giving.
Join those who throw that fabled stone
for when we’re judged we stand alone.
You’ll never, ever close me down
for freedoms’ speech is worth your frown.
So play your games and say your worst
and do not let your bubble burst.
Believe in only what you know
and only reap the seeds ‘you’ sow.
If you don't like the things I say
the choice is yours to stay away.
But if you stay remember this
all that glistens is not bliss.
