One On the Chin

Looking on with disdain
At the wayside street urchin
We feel within us a pricking pain
From conscience to us one on the chin

Judging the other by outer appearance 
Unspoken thoughts veil not our intent
Where has gone innate innocence 
The play divine joyful & content

Congratulations on your win. Love your line, "Judging the other by outer appearance." Never judge a person (or book) my the cover. Enjoy your win.........
