Judgments

Everyone’s a critic; Each of us a judge, Making our pronouncements After wading through the sludge. Weighing all the options, Probing with precision; Finally arriving at A personal decision. Judgments are subjective Beyond the basic rules And sometimes someone judging Overlooks the hidden jewels. Life is full of choices And every time we choose, Though somebody rejoices, Another has to lose.

Very nice Ilene. I hope you'll forgive me but I like to present it the way that I read it. Everyone's a critic.. Each of us a judge.. Making our pronouncements.. After wading through sludge.. Weighing the options.. Probing with precision.. Finally arriving.. At a personal decision.. Judgements are subjective.. Beyond basic rules.. Sometimes someone judging.. Overlooks hidden jewels.. Life's full of choices.. And everytime we choose.. Though someone rejoices.. Another must lose.. Just a thought
