Notes About The Poem

Judgment

Who am I to sit in judgment?
When the clouds part on that final day
And the Lord calls us home,
Then we face the only Judge that matters.

Naught to worry as He has spent 2,000-years just trying to reach a decision about His "Holy (from bombs?)" City of Jerusalem! Best of luck in the contest! Aloha! Rico
