Notes About The Poem

Judging Others

Judging Others…
whimsical law?

It is a kangaroo court, 
and the clowns have just arrived. 
Dressed in suits and ties, 
eating pies.

They think they know best, 
they have been put to the test. 
Liars on fire…
every “one”.

Taking care of a tiger, 
that eats cheese crackers…
for breakfast, 
can be dangerous. 
to you…
and to others. 

You are stupid, 
with your wishes…
that make fishes die. 
You are selfish, 
with your demands. 
You do not care. 
you dare, 
to be first, 
until the last, 
and then fast…

you find, 
your hair on fire, 
and you are begging
for relief…
from the very 
thing, you wanted, 
more than life…
itself!

Judging others is biblically incorrect, also.... You may find yourself judged if you do this. Love the poem... God bless you sweet friend, Gina

Wow this is deep Ann - I understand how you feel - judging others, we have no right! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Some believe their way is right,no matter what. However the shoes if we are lucky to have them, are all of different sizes. Few fit well, or right. That is why there are so many kinds, so many boxes. Hugs. Ann

LOL sometimes I feel a lot like this after having judged a contest. I always regret not giving everyone a top win.

You can not please them all. Winners are thrilled, and wonder how that happened? Losers... they ask the same... funny? Hugs and flowers. Ann
