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.
