Judgement's Way

Judgement’s Way Smug satisfaction drives a narrow way With pitfalls of intentional ignorance Righteous the personal license plate Sentenced to perfection’s map intolerance Judgement trips over truth at overgrown crossroads Blinded to orgies in its house of thin glass Cuts off compassion in condescending tongues Detours grace to side roads on this one way morass But grace stills hands determined to throw stones Though exiled, from judgement refrains Reaches down with mercy’s gentle touch Takes off darkened shades of pride’s glasses stained. True clarity speeds on boulevards unrestricted Judgmental wears same robes as the convicted. 4-29-21 Contest: Judge Not Lest You Be Judged Sponsor: John Lawless
