Notes About The Poem

Judgment

When we judge others
We're only judging ourselves
Sin's not exclusive

We see others' sins
that in our hearts are hidden
accusing them soothes

Here's some good advice:

I'll save you a place!

I will come back for more, Michael. That trip down my previous writes was an eye opener in many ways. I've grown a great deal since then. Thank you for encouraging me in those early days. Blessings.

Judgment is a mirror, where our sins, sooner or later, are reflected! Excellent writing, great truths, a seven, dear Eileen!

Thank you, my dear poet, for this lovely visit. Do not be concerned if you don't see me post for a few days. I will be traveling soon to a place that I have loved to visit for such a long long time. :) I will be here a few more days. Perhaps I will post a few more before that time. Thanks for the visit....as always. Filakia

I especially liked that last one. If all sinners went to Sinners Anonymous, it could not be anonymous any more! GREAT thoughts, dearie!

;) Well, at AA the first thing they do is stand up and say...My name is ......and I'm an alcoholic. So...there is no anonymity there either. We just all need to realize...we struggle! :) Thanks for the visit, dear.

Your poem flows well and the words say everything by evoking thoughts within the reader's consciousness. Emile.
