Judgmental

Just as you would suppose,
Unleased hatred only grows.
Do lash out, I’m sure you’ll see
God gives this freedom to you and me.
Mind your soul to heal the hate.
Enlighten your path before it’s too late.
Note your actions and words, if you will
That your hate will ever be still.
All that anger held inside
Looms from within, not outside.

Such a wonderful poem that speaks to the many hostilities that seem to permeate society. i like how the title adds richness to the acrostic.

well written Acrostic. Judgment becomes toxic to the individual who's judging. I especially liked 'Mind your soul to heal the hate. Enlighten your path before it’s too late. Great advice, Linda!
