Mirror Images of Oursleves

When I hear people play this game It hurts me cause we're all the same It doesn't matter who you are The clothes you wear--or kind of car Ranch or Beach House--- rich or poor When you open your hearts door Your eyes become a whole lot clearer Seeing someone like a mirror Who's image is identical And you feel like a fool For judging others when you should Notice you have not been good At fixing yourself and not be Pointing out judgmentally Other peoples awful traits When you make the same mistakes Everyone should look and see Images of you and me Are found all across the land We all need to understand There's no difference of any kind If we look with hearts and minds

Very sweet and heartfelt. I get the whole "judge not lest ye be", but I believe in "Judge, and be prepared to be judged". I think it's just human nature to judge other people, whether or not we know them personally or intimately. It may not be the nicest or best of human traits, but there's no denying, I think, that being judgmental is almost natural in a way. There's good pre-judgment and bad pre-judgment, if that makes sense. Anyway, enjoyed this piece, Robin! :) <3
