Judgment's Way

He trembles as he listens, contemplates The words the expert witness testifies He knows that judgment in his hands awaits Determine innocence or guilt, he tries Retires to his chambers, down to work To analyze the case, to rule correct Responsibility, he does not shirk Though TRUTH he finds incredibly complex Imagine now the WORLD you had to judge All creatures everywhere and for all time And do it all in fairness, without grudge A superhuman task -- for One Sublime They call the Scales of Justice, 'Lady Blind' Yet MERCY's name is God for He is KIND

Nicely written, Gershon. Thank goodness God is merciful and kind or heaven might be a much less populated place to spend eternity. All the best my friend. John

Not to worry. There will always be room in Heaven. It's Hell that's overcrowded! LOL. Thanks, John
